KASTO: over 180 years from Achern
KASTO was founded in 1844 in Achern, Germany, and looks back on more than 180 years of company history. Its programme covers three main categories: band saws, circular saws and hacksaws, from compact workshop machines to large-format band saws for blocks more than two metres across.
What we buy from KASTO
We buy saws from the whole KASTO programme. The table shows some known series as examples of what we take. It is not a complete list.

We also buy other KASTO series, such as the KASTOhba large-format band saw, as well as older models that are no longer in KASTO’s current catalogue. Give us the exact designation and the year from the nameplate and we place the machine.
Overhaul or sell?
Before you decide to sell, consider the alternative. With KASTOretrofit, KASTO offers a factory overhaul programme for its own saws. It includes, among other things, replacing the control with the current KASTO control concept, modernising sensors, drive and positioning systems, safety upgrades and a mechanical overhaul. KASTO positions it as a cost-effective alternative to buying new for machines with a solid design but outdated control technology, with the work carried out on site; the programme also covers relocating a machine. It makes most sense if you want to keep using the saw in your own plant. If you choose to sell instead, we buy your KASTO saw.
Independent of KASTO
We are not affiliated with KASTO. We act independently as a buyer on the secondary market and assess each KASTO machine individually on condition, equipment and current demand, whatever the manufacturer’s label says.
What we need from you
- Series and exact designation, year of manufacture
- Cutting capacity (round and square) and level of automation
- Photos: nameplate, overall view, saw head or blade, control panel and material feed
The more complete the information, the more accurate the estimate. A maintenance log, the manual and the date of the last band, blade or guide change are not required, but they help.
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.
The whole process usually takes 7 to 15 working days on a direct purchase. An urgent on-site visit takes place, usually within 48 to 72 hours on working days.
