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
