The Festool Kapex Miter saw incorporates laser precision with the cutting capacity of a 12" saw into a small and lightweight foot print. Features unique only to the Kapex Miter Saw allow the user to save on cleanup time, improve the quality of their finished product, cut setup times in half and make repeatability a breeze.
The Kapex's portability and compact size shine thanks to the rail forward design allowing the motor head to slide forward on the rails. Traditional sliding miter saws prohibit setup against walls due to rails which slide out the back of the saw. The Kapex's fixed rails allow setup in the tightest of hallways.
The variable speed motor can handle various tasks and cut through a range of material with the correct blade and speed selected. Fine bevel adjustment and a counter-balanced motor head with oversized scale and up front controls make it a breeze to select the exact bevel angle desired. The included Angle Transfer Device allows even the trickiest of inside or outside angles to be replicated within seconds ensuring precise mitering.
Achieve a perfect fit from the very first cut thanks to exact marking of the cutting width via dual-line lasers and precision adjustment for angled cuts accurate to the millimeter. Convenient and sage, the Kapex does not take up much space and never gets in the way, thanks to its compact design. The KS 120 is impressive with its precise cuts thanks to the twin-column guide, powerful cutting capacity of up to 120 mm and light weight of 47.3 lbs. The Festool twin-column guide guarantees reliable, smooth guidance of the saw blade and represents maximum precision.
A double laser line precisely marks the saw cut. A high-quality cast magnesium base increases rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum. The special cutting position of the KS 120 allows you to cut strip material up to 4-5/8" (120 mm) vertically against the stop or cut coving and cornices.
