Aluminium and plastic profile saws

It comprises manual and semi-automatic downstroking models M 10 and U 10, semi-automatic upstroking models U 12, 14 and 20, and a fully automatic upstroking saw, A 13. Except for the latter, all saws are capable of double-ended mitring as well as straight cutting. KASTOalu machines fall within the German manufacturer's workshop range of saws. Rectangular stock up to 300 by 100 mm can be processed on the U 20 while the U 12 accommodates 110 by 70 mm material. Capacity of the automatic A 13 is 200 by 90 mm. Complex mitre cuts are possible on the M 10 and U 10 models, as the 400 mm diameter saw blade can be positioned up to 45° left or right and at the same time inclined at up to 45° to the vertical. This allows compound mitre cuts, which are increasingly required in complicated building structures. Hydro-pneumatic, infinitely variable saw feed is a feature of all automated models in the KASTOalu series. Minimum lubrication of the carbide-tipped saw blade is common throughout the range. So too is the provision of a compressed air gun and a port for connecting chip extraction equipment. Mitre angle is up to ±90° on the larger semi-automatic machines.
