Orders soar for sawing machines

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.
