After many years trying to convince
manufacturers and stockholders that
it is the cost per cut that counts
when buying a sawing machine, not
its purchase price, Kasto’s UK MD,
Ernst Wagner, says the message is
hitting home. His comments, made
in December 2011, follow a six-
month order intake higher than any
other since Kasto was formed in
2004.Wagner says high end sawing
machines such as its KASTOtec
range, that require higher initial
investment than the industry
average, including Kasto’s own mid
range -twin, -evo and -verto
products, are often less expensive to
operate in terms of the overall cost of
sawing a unit area of stock.

On 23rd and 24th February, Kasto
will hold seminars aimed at oil & gas
and aerospace sector materials, in
conjunction with bandsaw blade
makers, Lenox and Wikus.The theme
will be ‘Profit by Performance’. A
KASTOtec AC4 will be used for trials.
