Top end bandsaw

From the top end of its product range, KASTO will show a KASTOtec AC5 automatic bandsawing machine with, for the first time, a low speed, high torque gearbox for cutting nickel alloys and other tough materials.

Designed for maximum productivity when used with coated and uncoated TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) blades, the machine and the smaller -tec AC4 are said to be two of the best-selling high performance bandsaws in the UK.

Of sturdy build, the KASTOtec AC5 has a steel/mineral cast composite construction that is six to eight times more vibration-absorbing than cast iron. The powerful main drive is through a rigid, play-free, spur bevel gear delivering 98% of the available power directly to the drive wheels. Stand 4633
