The Kasto SBA 280 AU-G is a used horizontal band saw — sometimes referred to as a bandsaw or metal-cutting band saw — a machine type used primarily for cutting metal bar stock, billets, tubes, and profiles to length with precision and repeatability. Kasto is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing band saws, circular cold saws, and automated sawing systems for the metalworking and steel-processing industries.
Built in 2000 and located in Germany, this machine carries a cutting diameter of 280 mm and accepts a saw band of 4,930 mm in length. At 90 degrees, it handles square section up to 280 × 280 mm. Angular cutting capability is a notable feature: at 45 degrees it cuts round bar up to 280 mm and square section up to 280 × 280 mm, while at 60 degrees capacity steps down to 220 mm round and 200 × 200 mm square. This range of mitre angles makes it well suited to fabrication work where angled cuts are routinely required.
The cutting speed is variable between 17 and 90 m/min, allowing the operator to match blade speed to the material being cut. Feed length is 600 mm in single-cut mode and extends to 5,400 mm for multiple-cut operation. The minimum rest piece length is 30 mm, and the minimum saw diameter is 10 mm. The machine is controlled by a Kasto Compact Control unit. Total installed power is 5 kW, and the machine weighs approximately 1.75 tonnes.
The overall footprint measures 2.68 m long by 2.54 m wide by 1.59 m high. Included with the machine is a coolant system and two roller tracks: one measuring 3,300 mm in length and 300 mm in width, and a second measuring 1,350 mm in length and 300 mm in width, providing material support on both the infeed and outfeed sides.
