Pivot-type KastoPractical A2 bandsaw makes mitring easier

The saw head can be quickly indexed 45º to the left or up to 60º to the right, regardless of whether solid, tubular or profile stock is being processed. The operating range for straight cuts is 230 mm round, 300 by 170 mm flat or 220 by 220 mm square. Capacity when mitring at 45º is 190 by 190 mm. A 1.1/1.5 kW two speed saw motor delivers cutting speeds up to 35 or 70 m/min, depending on material and feed. With an optional, frequency-controlled 1.5 kW drive, cutting speed is infinitely variable from 20 to 90 m/min. The stepless saw blade down-feed can save both time and material when processing stock from 10 mm diameter. Numerically controlled material feed (single 500 mm, multiple up to 9,999 mm), automatic hydraulic horizontal clamping and the abilities of the Kasto Basic Control combine to ensure minimum non-cutting times and high output in automatic operation. The pivot point of the saw unit is optimally located at the intersection of saw blade and the plane of the material support table, so length correction when adjusting the mitre angle is not required. Additionally, the design lends itself to producing accurate straight cuts. In combination with cut piece lengths down to 10 mm in manual and automatic operation aids maximum material yield.
