Kasto adds compact KastoRadial A10 to its workshop saw range

German sawing machine manufacturer Kasto has added a compact circular saw to its workshop range aimed at fabricators, machine shops and small to medium-sized raw materials suppliers.

The hydraulically actuated KastoRadial A10 saw is designed for the cutting to length of solids, tubes and profiles at 90º, either in single cut or automatic operation. Cutting range is up to 100 mm for round bar, 120 mm round tubes, 80 by 80 mm square bar and 150 by 100 mm flats. Shortest cut piece length is 6 mm, while remnant length is 20 mm in single cut mode and 75 mm in automatic operation. The blade is driven by a robust, 3 kW motor and has a horizontal vice that safely secures the workpiece. Minimum quantity lubrication is an option for use when cutting profiles. The standard machine has automatic NC material feed, a Kasto BasicControl control with remote adjustment of rpm using function keys, automatic cutting height recognition during rapid downfeed, a coolant system and removable chip trough. The base of the machine is a sturdy fabrication which supports a table at an ergonomic height of 950 mm. Saw blade dimensions are 350 mm diameter by 2.5 mm thick. The compact KastoRadial A10 occupies 1,530 by 1,200 mm of workshop space. An extensive range of accessories is available to optimise material flow; for example, driven roller conveyors or an inclined magazine to load bars up to 3 m in length automatically. Additional models in the KastoRadial range include machines for manual and semi-automatic operation as well as others capable of +60 to -45º mitre cutting.
