Versatile saws for
the workshop
A NEW range of swing-frame, pivoting-
bow bandsaws for use in workshops has
been launched by the German manufac-
turer Kasto. The versatile KASTOmicut
machines are designed for high-accura-
cy cutting to length and mitre cutting of
tubes, sections and solid materials.
Four model variants are available:
manual (P 2.6), manual clamping with
hydraulic downfeed (E 2.6), hydrauli-
cally actuated clamping and downfeed
(U 2.6), and fully automatic (A 2.6) with
ballscrew-driven material feed, carbide
blade guides and an optional chip
conveyor.
The saws supersede six machine
models in the KASTOpractical and
KASTOfunctional series, compared with
which they have higher power motors
and greater band tension, allowing a 50
per cent increase in cutting force. Feed
rate is constant throughout, avoiding
lost productivity due to the blade slowing
towards the centre of the cut.
Blade speed is infinitely variable
from 20 to 120m/min, allowing a
range of different materials to be
processed.
KASTOmicut saws have a cut-
ting range of 260mm for rounds
and 310 x 260mm for flat stock.
Mitre cuts are possible at continu-
ously adjustable angles from -45°
to +60°. A torsionally rigid, vibra-
tion-damped, cast iron frame pro-
vides support for the saw blade,
ensuring cutting quality, even in
difficult-to-cut materials. Available
accessories include a rotary table
to support the material.
The shortest cut length is
6mm, with a residual length of
15mm for manually cut pieces or 40mm
in automatic operation, so users can
make maximum use of material. Cutting
accuracy is 0.1mm per 100mm of height.
