Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw best suited to?
This bandsaw is suited to workshops requiring manually controlled cuts. It is intended for metal-cutting applications such as tube, box section and other suitable profiles, subject to the material and cutting-capacity limits of the selected model.
What is the cutting capacity of the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw?
The published specification describes 415V three-phase; 220mm round, 220mm square, 260 × 140mm rectangular at 90°; 60° right mitre; manual pull-down; 35/70m/min blade speeds. Capacity changes with mitre angle and material shape, so check the product capacity table for your exact section and cutting angle.
Can the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw make mitre cuts?
Yes. The machine offers single mitre up to 60°. Available cutting capacity reduces at some angles, so compare the proposed material size against the angle-specific specification before ordering.
What electrical supply does the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw require?
The published product information specifies 415V three-phase. Confirm the exact machine variant and electrical installation requirements with Selmach before delivery.
How does the cutting downfeed work on the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw?
The machine offers manual pull-down and coolant. Gravity downfeed is not the same as automatic material feeding: the operator still needs to position and secure material for the next cut.
Which bandsaw blade should I order for the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw?
The published blade size is 2450 × 27 × 0.9mm. Tooth pitch and blade grade should be selected for the material, wall thickness and type of cut. Selmach can advise on suitable replacement blades and cutting fluid.
What routine maintenance does the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw need?
Routine checks should include blade condition and tension, guides, vice clamping, coolant concentration and cleanliness, plus any feed mechanism specified in the machine manual. Follow the manufacturer’s inspection and safety procedures.
Are Selmach service plans available for the Bianco 280 M Pull-Down Single Mitre Bandsaw?
Selmach can discuss preventative maintenance and service-plan options for this bandsaw. The appropriate plan, coverage and eligibility should be confirmed with the service team; a plan should not be assumed to be included in the machine price.
