Discover versatility: Metal saws from KASTO
The KASTO saw programme is as versatile as the tasks in the field of metal sawing, therefore you will find hacksaws, band saws and circular saws in our assortment.
KASTO stands for quality and durability. This is reflected in all our products, from the universal workshop saw for occasional cuts to the powerful fully automatic machine for industry.
Whether for straight cuts or mitre cuts, sawing bar materials, panels or profiles, with us you will find the right saw for your application. We will be happy to advise you on the choice of suitable machines for sawing metal, steel or aluminium.
Product overview of our sawing machines
Compact and universal saws
KASTO distinguishes itself through its broad range of sawing machines for the workshop – designed especially for small and mid-sized companies. Machines providing maximum reliability and precision are available even for occasional or small metal cutting jobs. That is why KASTO's complete know-how and experience goes into each workshop saw.
Production bandsaws
KASTO has the right solution for all of your applications. Dual column-guided, fully automatic high-performance bandsaws for mass-cutting in manufacturing and production as well as carbide metal production bandsaw systems for the industrial and automotive sectors and steel trade industry. Our fully automatic sawing systems with automated material feed and cut-piece sorting units enable multi-shift operations with low personnel requirements. We also offer a solution for additive manufacturing.
Production circular saws
Do you need an efficient and robust sawing machine for your production? KASTO provides high-performance circular sawing machines for efficient processing of bar stock with HSS and carbide tools for tool steels and materials that are difficult-to-cut such as titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel and many other for small and large cutting quantities.
Block and plate sawing machines
The ideal sawing machine for creating various dimensional cuts from billets or plates, squared or flat materials: KASTO block and plate bandsaws designed for longitudinal sawing operations. This principle is perfectly suited for cutting blocks and plates, trimming plate layers as well as notching cuts.
Today, sawing means more than just cutting a piece of material.
Today, sawing is an important step, usually at the beginning of a process chain.
With our automatic sawing machines, we see us as a part of the development of a product, and we willingly face this responsibility."
The three sawing procedures
1
Hacksaw method
The hacksaw method patented by KASTO is characterized by its bow-shaped, pushing and cutting movement. Until that time, hacksaws, in which the sawblade is clamped in a U-shaped bow, were painstakingly operated entirely by hand. However, for many companies, the machine-operated hacksaw simplified this cumbersome process while providing a considerable increase in performance. In 1952, KASTO presented a metal hacksaw for the first time at the trade fair in Hanover. Even today, smaller hacksaws are used for a broad range of tasks in workshops.
2
Circular saw method
Different materials such as iron, stainless steel, aluminum and increasing production requirements make other sawing methods necessary. To meet this challenge, in 1965, KASTO began producing circular sawing machines. The circular saw method is characterized, in particular, by the efficient processing of easy and difficult-to-cut materials. This method ensures that the higher industry and production demands can be fulfilled.
3
Bandsaw method
In 1975, KASTO expanded its sawing machine portfolio and the third method with the bandsaw machine. The continuous endless sawblade distinguishes this process. It enables an efficient and uninterruptable cut. Thanks to the thin sawblade, the material loss is significantly lower than that of the circular saw. KASTO offers a wide range of products, from workshop saws for making single cuts to powerful fully automatic machines for your demanding sawing tasks as well as high-performance bandsaw machines for the industrial machining of large blocks and plates.
AdvancedControl
The AdvancedControl control system offers optimum machine operation. Simple and clear order entry via order wizard.
ProControl
The ProControl is based on an industrial PC with color display and touch screen operation. Special attention was paid to the continuous and easy operation for order entry, order tracking, booking and manual operation. Clear graphic symbols, operation and return message directly via touch screen and additional features such as online language selection make training easy. Performance and hardware design of the ProControl allow comprehensive additional options, which can be easily added at a later time. Functions such as storage location and cassette management, graphic system visualization, system diagnosis and automatic order control are standard with bar and sheet metal storage systems.
ExpertControl
ExpertControl provides all of the functionality you could wish for for controlling and managing complex systems for material supplying (magazines etc.), material removal (KASTOsort robot, paletting machine, burr removal and centring systems etc.) and part tracking (markers etc.). The highlights are the self-optimising technology database and the simple integration in the customer IT via host interfaces or in KASTO sawing centres. An industrial PC without hard drive running Microsoft Windows 7 with an integrated S7 soft PLC is used as the hardware. Operation of the ExpertControl on the basis of the new KASTO user interface takes place via a 15" colour touch screen with widescreen format.

Flexible and high-performance sawing in machine manufacturing
The mid-sized technology company, SMO Sondermaschinen Oschersleben GmbH, has provided services such as developing, designing, manufacturing, and servicing all types of machines and systems since the 1990s. By manufacturing nearly everything onsite, SMO can consistently meet the high and reproducible quality demands. To achieve this, they focus on modern and high-capacity machines. KASTO Maschinenbau in Achern-Gamshurst was awarded the order for a high-performance straight cut automatic bandsaw, KASTOverto A 2. With a cutting range from 260 mm round and 320 x 260 mm flat, the automatic bandsaw, KASTOverto A 2, is ideal for SMO's requirements. The fully hydraulic, high-performance straight-cut automatic bandsaw design, which features a vertically running, and horizontally moving sawblade, is the optimum solution for cutting solid material, tubes, and profiles made from easy or difficult-to-cut materials. Thanks to the compact construction and the low space requirement of only approx. 3 m², the sawing machine including the feed and outfeed roller conveyors can be integrated easily into the production material flow of SMO.
