New Saws for Straight and Mitre Cutting of Aluminium and Plastics
Share:
A new range of circular saws has been introduced by KASTO, Milton Keynes, specifically for cutting aluminium and plastic profiles without damaging the delicate materials. Models in the KASTOalu range comprise 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.
Complementing the KASTOdisc machine series for relatively light duty cutting of steels and most common metals, KASTOalu machines fall within the German manufacturer's workshop range of saws. Rectangular stock up to 300 x 100 mm can be processed on the U 20 while the U 12 accommodates 110 x 70 mm material. Capacity of the automatic A 13 is 200 x 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 degrees left or right and at the same time inclined at up to 45 degrees 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 degrees on the larger semi-automatic machines.
The KASTOalu A 13 is an numerically controlled, automatic circular saw with an additional function for semi-automatic operation, designed for 90-degree cutting not only of aluminium and plastic profiles but also of solid materials. Features include a precision ballscrew for material feed and infinitely variable cutting height adjustment.
