Circular saws and fully automatic circular saws for metalworking

Circular saws for metalworking are saws that are equipped with a circular saw blade and are often superior to band saws in terms of speed and cutting quality in the material diameter range below 160 mm. As the possible area of application for saw processing mainly depends on the shape and material properties of the material to be sawn, there is a wide range of different variants of circular sawing machines and circular saw blades.

As a machine specialist for the steel construction, metal construction, steel trade and plant construction sectors, Nenok from Cologne offers various used circular sawing machines for metalworking. Modern circular saws as semi-automatic or fully automatic universal circular saws are equipped either as straight cut saws for 90° saw cuts or as mitre cut saws with a mitre adjustment of the saw blade for a mitre cut on both sides. Other common machine names for this type of machine are long-cut circular saw, underfloor circular saw and cold circular saw. Depending on the application and performance of the machine, saw blades with HSS tool steel cutting edges or carbide cutting edges are used. Nenok supplies suitable circular saw blades for the most common machine types from the manufacturers Behringer-Eisele, Kaltenbach, Kasto and Peddinghaus. Since around 2022, Kaltenbach has also discontinued the production of large cold circular saws, meaning that only used large circular saws are now available on the market. In the past, the Peddinghaus LC1000 and LC1250 cold circular saws and Kaltenbach HDM 1431 and HDM 1432 large cold circular saws were used particularly often. These high-performance saws are able to cut profile beams, angle steel, U-profiles etc. up to a material size of 1200 x 450 mm in a single operation, economically and with a straight cut. Another advantage of these large machines is their high cutting performance, which is particularly beneficial when processing heavy or large steel profiles. As the purchase costs for the saw blades of large machines are relatively high, it is advantageous that these saw blades are equipped with individual segments that can be replaced and/or reground separately when worn. Depending on the intensity and care of use, multiple resharpening is common practice.

Universal circular saws with saw blade dimensions of up to 460 mm are mainly produced by Behringer, Eisele, Kaltenbach and Kasto. Many thousands of machines are in use worldwide as semi-automatic mitre circular saws and fully automatic universal circular saws.
The equipment of these circular saws is characterized by an extensive range of variants, such as:
roller table systems for material transport, length stops, individually programmable mitre adjustment, electronic cutting height adjustment, rapid return of the saw blade, data transfer of cutting jobs, automatic cut-off sorting, etc.

You have decided to buy a new circular saw and want to sell your used semi-automatic circular saw or your used fully automatic circular saw. If your used circular saw machine is less than 15 years old and from one of the following machine manufacturers such as Behringer, Kaltenbach or Eisele, then Nenok is interested in buying your used circular saw.

In order to be able to evaluate your used machine, we would be pleased to receive some photos and technical data with your price expectations.
