This Kasto HBA A 8X10 CNC Band Saw is a used horizontal band saw — sometimes referred to as a horizontal bandsaw or metal-cutting band saw — designed for straight, precise cuts through demanding materials. Horizontal band saws of this type are workhorses of heavy metalworking, used to cut bar stock, billets, tubes, and profiles to length, and are particularly well suited to production environments where throughput and accuracy are paramount. Kasto is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the sawing technology sector, producing band saws, circular saws, and automated storage systems primarily for the metal-cutting and steel-processing industries.
This machine is described by the seller as a heavy-duty double-column band saw built specifically for cutting high-alloy steels, which places it firmly in the demanding end of industrial sawing. The double-column design provides the rigidity required to maintain cut accuracy under the stresses of working with tough, high-strength materials.
The saw is CNC controlled, with variable-speed management governing both the feed of the workpiece into the cutting zone and the saw blade speed itself. Saw blade speed is adjustable across a range of 16 to 80 metres per minute, allowing the operator to match cutting parameters to the material being processed. The blade itself measures 10,260 × 80 × 1.60 mm. Drive power is rated at 32 kW, requiring a 100-amp supply. The machine alone weighs approximately 9 tonnes.
Workpiece capacity is substantial: the maximum workpiece width is 900 mm, the depth of throat reaches 1,060 mm, and the maximum workpiece height is 860 mm. These figures reflect a machine built to handle large-section material typical of heavy steel processing.
A notable feature of this installation is the fully motorised roller conveyor system, manufactured by Weishaupt, which automates the handling of workpieces through the cutting cycle. The in-feed side comprises two separate roller conveyor sections: one external section measuring 10.3 metres in length and one internal section measuring 9 metres, each equipped with two hydraulic clamps for aligning the workpiece prior to cutting. Every individual roller across the conveyor system is independently motorised, and each roller is rated to support up to 4 tonnes, underscoring the system's suitability for very heavy stock. Automatic repositioning of the workpiece between cuts is included, supporting unattended or lightly attended production runs. On the out-feed side, a 4-metre roller conveyor receives the cut pieces. One of the conveyor sections is fitted with a Sartorius weighing system, enabling the weight of each cut piece to be recorded directly after sawing without manual handling. A chip conveyor is also included for continuous swarf removal during operation.
The machine is located in Belgium and is offered in used condition.
