The heavy duty KASTOmaxcut gantry-type band sawing machine from KASTO is ideal for fully automatic sawing and medium-scale to very-large-scale production of aluminum plates with a thickness of 6 mm to 2,000 mm, and ingots with cross-sections up to 2,200 mm x 850 mm and lengths up to 4,100 mm. It runs a very quiet continuously variable cutting speed from 300 m/min to 3,000 m/min without vibration, and can be operated with both bimetallic and carbide blades.

Aluminum Saws for Effective Cutting of Tubes, Sheets, Ingots
Take a closer look at how gantry-type band sawing machines, floor-standing circular saws and other machines from KASTO can increase productivity and reduce costs in sawing operations.

Large Capacity Dual Column, Semi-Automatic Band Saws
Large capacity DC-1100SA and DC-1700SA dual column, semi-automatic band saws from DoALL are ideal for shops that need a high production band saw, but have operations that do not require indexing or automatic cutting cycles.

Heavy Duty Sawing of Structural Steels and High-Tensile Strength Solids
Ideal for a wide range of large capacity applications, from production cutting steel service centers to job shops, the heavy duty HBE-663A hydraulic horizontal band saw from Behringer provides accurate, versatile and economical cutting in all materials, including structural steels and high-tensile strength solids.

Automatic Circular Cold Saws Increase Efficiency and Accuracy
The fully programmable CPO 315 HFA-CNC automatic circular cold saw with variable speed control and the SUP-600 NF Upcut circular cold saw powered by RazorGage and coupled with the AngleMaster measuring system from Scotchman help shops increase their productivity.

Powerful Cordless Saws Last Longer, Cut Small Diameter Metal Faster
The M18 FUEL Metal Cutting Circular Saw from Milwaukee Tool cuts through a wide range of small diameter metal and uses advanced REDLINK PLUS Intelligence to integrate full-circle communication between tool, battery and charger for protection against overloading, overheating, and over-discharging.

Long-Life Cutting Fluid Increases Feed and Cutting Speed on Tough Materials
Special EP additives in Coolcut S-50 soluble cutting fluid from Walter Surface Technologies provide extra lubricity to improve the life of saw blades and reduce heat buildup and friction on hard-to-cut metals such as high tensile steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and copper alloys.

Pneumatic Saw Cuts Steel Plate, Pipe and More Without Heat Affect Zone
Ideal for on-site fabrication of structures, tanks, ships and related equipment, the APS-438 Air-Powered Saw and Quick-Clamp from ESCO Tool sets up fast using a 2 in W steel track and two wedge-style clamps that attach to steel plate up to 15 ft W by 3.5 in thick and accept the saw.

Flexible Vertical Bandsaw with Head Tilt for a Variety of Cuts
With 18 in horizontal, 20 in vertical cutting capacity and up to 300 lb cutting pressure, the MV2300 Metal Cutting Bandsaw from MetalMizer features a powered 0 to 45 deg head tilt from either side of vertical, adjustable 0 to 3 deg forward tilt and auto speed adjustment with presets for making a variety of cuts.

Versatile Set Blade for High Efficiency, Precise Cuts on Titanium and Other Difficult Materials
The 3868 Carbide Triple Set “Xtra” TSX Bandsaw Blade from Bahco can effectively cut materials on both vertical and horizontal bandsaws by using a triple chip tooth design with a positive 10 deg rake angle that is ideal for smooth, high efficiency, precise cuts on titanium and other difficult and abrasive materials.

Take Hole Boring Efficiency to a New Level
This new bi-metal hole saw from Morse provides a deeper cut depth, improved side slot, and quick and clean proprietary cutting edge.

Quit Throwing Away Half-Used Reciprocating Saw Blades
BREAKAWAY Reciprocating Saw Blades from DEWALT use an innovative two-blades-in-one design that enables users to break away the used section of the blade and then reinsert the unused section back into the saw for maximum blade use without compromising performance.

Shears Cut Metal Without Distortion, Extend Material Usage
When cutting cold rolled mild steel and stainless steel, KD-442 Double-Cut Shears from Kett Tool conserve materials with a double cutting action that easily transfers any distortion produced when cutting to a waste strip, leaving behind material edges that are not rough or burred for maximum use of sheet material.
