The Kapex KS 120 is the first miter saw with variable-speed, enabling the user to match the speed of the blade with the requirements of the material for perfect cuts, every time.
Finally a sliding compound miter saw that combines a large cutting capacity with a compact lightweight design that achieves the precision needed for high-quality results and detailed solutions to inspire any professional user. With the Kapex, you can expect 12-in miter saw capacity in a revolutionary 10-in miter saw design.
Features:
- Portability - The ergonomically designed carrying position combined with its light weight (47 lbs.) make the Kapex easy to move around the job site. When being transported, the Kapex's head is locked down making it compact and preventing movement
- Light Weight, Compact Footprint - The magnesium alloy base of the Kapex was designed to be extremely rigid and durable yet very lightweight when compared to other 10-in miter saws
- Deck Height - The deck height matches the height of your sustainer 1 storage containers. On the jobsite, you can use one or more sustainers to support the material being cut
- Counter Spring Balanced - The bevel adjustment is counter spring balanced meaning that you can position the bevel at any angle and the head will stay in position even when it is not locked in place. This makes angle adjustment much less tedious and more accurate. Bevel gauges are on both sides of the saw for quick, easy reference
- Dust Hood - The Kapex features a dust hood which is responsible for directing the ejection of saw dust from the blade into the dust collection port
- Blade Kerf and Guard Design - The Kapex blade creates a thin kerf which reduces load on the motor and improves the cut quality. The blades are specially designed to reduce noise levels and dampen vibration. The large 30mm arbor hole reduces blade deflection
- Special Cutting Position - The Kapex incorporates a special cutting position that, when employed, provides a greater that usual cutting capacity by utilizing the back portion of the blade more effectively. The Kapex is locked into the special cutting position with the flip of a lever
- Rail Forward Design- The Kapex features a rail forward design which increases precision and creates a compact footprint. The rails are robust at 30mm in diameter and are wide apart. This prevents head play to ensure smooth, accurate cuts every time
- FastFix Blade Changes - The Kapex features Festool's patented FastFix blade change system. Turning the fast fix knob locks the arbor, mechanically locks out the trigger and allows the blade to be changed with a single hand
- Dual Lasers - Easily align cuts from the left or the right side using the dual lasers. The lasers clearly define the material which will be removed during the cut. Using the three axis adjustment controls, you have complete control to fine-tune the lasers
- Bevel Lock Knob - Use the bevel lock knob conveniently located on top of the Kapex to control the bevel positive detents and to lock the bevel angle. The counter spring balanced head on the Kapex allows you to position the bevel and let go of the saw with the head moving. Use the fine adjustment knob to control bevel angles in fractions of a degree
- Ergonomic Handle Position - A center-positioned handle allows you to make cuts with either hand making it easier to view the cut. Combine the Kapex with the MFT/3-Kapex table to place the saw at the optimal work height for greater comfort. The 2-stage trigger helps prevent accidental triggering
- Dust Extraction Port - The Kapex features a swiveling dust extraction port which accepts a 27mm or 26mm hose. When combined with the CT 22 or CT 33 dust extractor, the Kapex is capable of collecting up to 91% of the saw dust
- Direct Drive Motor - The 1,600 watt motor utilizes direct drive for a more efficient transfer of energy to the blade. The result is a cleaner, more accurate cut than a conventional miter saw
- MMC electronics - With variable-speed pre-selection, smooth start up, safety brake and overload protection the MMC electronics minimize working stress and adapt machine performance to the working material
- Trenching Capability - With the simple flip of a conveniently placed knob, you can cut trenches to create lap joints or go around pipes and other obstacles. Flip the knob back up and you're back to normal miter saw position in seconds
- Bevel Fine-Adjustment Knob - Use the fine-adjustment knob to control the bevel of the cut to fractions of a degree with extreme precision. The knob rotates and engages a rack and pinion to move the head
- Cord and Tool Storage - Includes an onboard tool storage for the power cord and arbor tool. A far superior and safer solution to simply wrapping the cord around the saw during transport. The arbor tool is always handy for quick blade changes using the FastFix system
- Keyed Material Clamp - Includes a clamp which is keyed to make insertion and removal quick and easy. The clamp will not slide freely when the lock is disengaged keeping it out of the way while you are positioning your material. A single lever-actuated cam-lock secures the clamp in place and a rubber pad protect your work piece

Comments about Kapex KS 120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw:
The best saw you can get! Like all Festool products you might question the price at first until you use one of their tools. I plan to replace all of my tools that die with a Festool product. As far as CPO goes, their great. My miter saw kicked the bucket on a Wednesday and I got my new saw on Saturday.

Comments about Kapex KS 120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw:
I use this saw in a fixed position in my home shop where I build furniture and cabinets as a hobby. By far and away the best miter saw I have ever used. Solid, durable, accurate. However, the dust collection is poor. I have several other Festool products and generally I am happy with their dust collection. Not so with this saw.

Comments about Kapex KS 120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw:
Accurate, very easy to use, did I mention accurate. If you are serious about your joinery, this miter saw is a must! Yes, compared to other miter saws it is expensive, but what price do you place on superb accuracy? The radial arm saw is gone!! Coupled with Festool 75 plunge saw, and a good table saw I am able to tackle any project. I primarily work with solid lumber, many different species for the one-of-a-kind pieces I design and build. Occasionally, I use sheet goods. Shame on me...I should have converted to Festool long before now!!

Comments about Kapex KS 120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw:
Make no doubt, this is a very good compound miter saw, if not the best.There is only one real issue: Price. Is it worth [$], which is 1.5 to 3 times more expensive than other saws, and it accessories are also expensive.Can I get the same high capabilities in a saw less expensive: YES.But for those who buy Festool, craftsmanship is more important than "value". And Festool does provide some of the best machines.Because the cost is so high, the importance of "value" was more heavily weighted in my rating. I can only give it average rating due to value, but 5 stars in terms of the product capabilities.
