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.

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.

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
