To sell a used cold saw, send us the make, type and a few photos. We buy your machine. You receive an initial estimate. This covers HSS and carbide-tipped circular saws as well as fully automatic circular saws, whatever the make. We organise dismantling and transport; on a direct purchase, payment is made by bank transfer before pickup.
On German-built machines and in German manuals the cold saw is called a Kaltkreissäge, which helps when you read the nameplate or documentation.
What decides the value of a cold saw
- Blade type: HSS (high-speed steel) is the established standard; carbide tipping allows higher cutting output and longer tool life.
- Level of automation: manual, semi-automatic or a fully automatic circular saw with programmable material feed.
- Mitre range: swivel range for angled cuts, where fitted.
- Blade diameter and cutting capacity: these define the maximum section the saw can cut.
- Clamping jaws and control: their condition is decisive for cut accuracy and repeatability.
Automatic circular saw or manual cold saw
An automatic circular saw runs material feed, sawing cycle and cut-to-length under programme control. It suits series cutting and appeals to a wider group of buyers than a manually operated cold saw of the same age. For resale, apart from the level of automation, it matters most whether the control is still supported and spare parts are available.

Eisele is the circular saw brand of the Behringer Group: Behringer acquired Eisele in 2001, the company is based in Weilheim an der Teck and today trades as Behringer Eisele GmbH. Its families are the vertical metal circular saws (VMS, blades 350 to 400 mm), underfloor saws (PSU, blades 450 to 460 mm), high-performance metal circular saws (HCS, blades 250 to 560 mm) and aluminium circular saws (VA-L, blades 450 to 620 mm). This is a separate line from Behringer’s band saws. Pressta-Eisele is an unrelated company.
We buy cold saws from these and other manufacturers according to condition and current demand. We are not affiliated with any of them. See the brand pages for Behringer and Eisele, Kaltenbach and KASTO.
What we need from you
- Make, type and year of manufacture
- Blade diameter, cutting capacity, level of automation and mitre range
- Photos: nameplate, overall view, blade or clamping jaws, control panel
The manual, a maintenance log and the date of the last blade change are not required, but they make the estimate more accurate.
The process
- You send the data and photos.
- The offer usually follows 24–48 hours on working days after we have all the details.
- Direct purchase: bank transfer before pickup; no machine leaves your site without confirmed payment. We organise dismantling and transport; the offer states upfront whether those costs are included.
An urgent on-site visit takes place, usually within 48 to 72 hours on working days. The whole process usually takes 7 to 15 working days on a direct purchase.
