This Kasto HBA 520 AU is a used horizontal band saw — sometimes referred to as a horizontal bandsaw or metal-cutting band saw — designed for the precision cutting of bar stock, tube, solid sections, and other workpieces. Horizontal band saws of this type are a mainstay of metalworking and fabrication workshops, where they are used to produce accurate cut-off sections from a wide range of materials. Kasto is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the sawing technology sector, producing band saws, circular saws, and associated storage and handling systems for the metalworking and steel-distribution industries worldwide.
The machine operates with a two-column guided design, which supports rigidity and cutting accuracy throughout the stroke. It is equipped with a POSIMOD control system and has a cutting diameter of 520 mm, with a square cutting range of 520 x 520 mm. The saw band itself measures 7,239 x 50 x 1.3 mm, giving a cutting width of 1.3 mm, and runs at variable cutting speeds between 20 and 130 m/min, allowing the operator to match the feed rate to the material being cut.
Feed capability is a notable feature of this machine: the single feed length is 500 mm, while the multiple feed length extends to 4,500 mm, making it well suited to batch or repetitive cutting operations. The minimum cut-off length is 6 mm, and the rest piece length range is 10 to 100 mm.
The sawing motor is rated at 5.5 kW, with a total power requirement of 10.0 kW. The machine weighs approximately 3.8 tonnes and has overall dimensions of 3.42 m (length) x 2.30 m (width) x 2.40 m (height).
Included with the machine are a roller track of 2,500 mm length, a chip conveyor, and a coolant system. Built in 1994 and located in Germany, this machine is offered in used condition.
