Buy & Sell Used Metalworking Other Machines Saws for Sale
Frequently Asked Questions about used Saws
What is a saw machine and what is it used for in industrial production?
An industrial saw machine cuts metal, wood or plastic with a band saw blade, circular blade or hacksaw blade; in metalworking, band saws and cold circular saws are the most common types. These machines are used wherever bars, profiles, tubes or blocks have to be cut economically and accurately, for example in steel fabrication, locksmith workshops, toolmaking and contract manufacturing. Used saw machines from manufacturers such as KALTENBACH, KASTO and BEHRINGER are a frequently chosen alternative to buying new.
How do I choose the right used saw machine for my material?
The decisive factors are material and cross-section: horizontal band saws suit bars and profiles, vertical or column-type saws handle large blocks and solid material, while cold circular saws produce fast, largely burr-free cuts. Also check cutting capacity, blade or band dimensions, feed system, level of automation, and the floor space and power supply available in your workshop. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal so you can match the machine on offer with your requirements beforehand.
What does a used saw machine cost compared with a new one?
Used saw machines cost considerably less than comparable new machines – typical savings at Asset-Trade are between 40 and 70 percent, depending on age, size, equipment and condition. Since every used saw machine is an individual unit, there are no flat rates; the price reflects cutting capacity, control system, accessories and the assessed condition. Send an enquiry and you will receive a specific offer including the documentation that is available.
How can I check the condition of a used saw machine before buying?
Asset-Trade puts every machine through a multi-stage inspection with functional tests covering items such as blade or band guiding, feed, coolant system and controls. On request you can inspect the saw machine on site and see it demonstrated, running your own material through it. A free machine appraisal and a look at the available documentation also help you judge the machine.
How does delivery and export of a used saw machine work?
Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export, including loading, transport documents and customs formalities, and guides you through a 7-step purchase process. A dedicated project manager coordinates every stage from your first enquiry to delivery at your site. Operator instruction and training on site can be included in the planning on request.
What mistakes do buyers make with used saw machines and what are the alternatives?
Typical mistakes are choosing too small a cutting capacity, buying without checking blade guiding and controls, and deciding without a demonstration using your own material. Buyers who only compare new machines often overlook that a well-maintained used saw machine can handle the same job at a much lower cost; depending on the material, alternatives include circular saws, hacksaws and CNC-controlled sawing centres.
