The Festool Kapex KS 120 Sliding Compound Miter Saw is the most advanced compound miter saw on the market today. Light in weight yet heavy in features, the KS 120 is perfect for the shop or jobsite, making cuts that rival the finest trim work. Effective dust extraction, precise cuts, easy adjustments, and quality components are just a few of the features that continue to impress woodworkers across the world.

Easily align cuts from the left or right side using the dual lasers. These lasers clearly define what material will be removed during the cut. The Kapex features a rail forward design, which increases precision and creates a compact footprint. It also features a micro-adjustable bevel angle with a rotary knob on the front of the saw for convenient adjustment. The large bevel scale and fine pointers make setting precise angles even easier.

Besides the usual position for cutting or trimming boards/panels, the Kapex incorporates a special cutting position that, when employed, provides greater 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. Cut crown moulding up to 6-5/8" in the nested position providing a cutting capacity equal to some 12" miter saws. Cut material vertically up to 4-3/4" in height.

Looking for a Dust Extractor to pair with your Kapex? The CT 25 and CT 15 fit perfectly underneath the saw in the compatible Kapex Mobile Stand.

All Festool power tools include a 3-year wear-and-tear warranty, 2-day standard repair time, and 1-month satisfaction guarantee.

Features
  • Portability: When being transported, the Kapex's head is locked down making it compact and preventing movement. Ergonomic design minimizes strain on your back.
  • Counter Spring Balanced Bevel: Position the bevel at any angle and the head will stay in position even when it is not locked in place. Using the micro adjustment knob, the Kapex can be dialed in very accurately to fractions of a degree.
  • FastFix Blade Changes: The Kapex features Festool's patented FastFix blade change system which allows the blade to be changed with a single hand.
  • Ergonomic Handle Position: A center-positioned handle allows you to make cuts with either hand making it easier to view the cut.
  • MiterFast Angle Transfer Device: The Kapex includes an angle transfer device named the MiterFast. The MiterFast makes the transfer of inside and outside angles from the workpiece to the saw quick and easy without complex angle calculations.
  • Dual-line lasers: Fully adjustable dual-line lasers accurately define the cut area for precise cut placement. Material between these laser lines will be removed, making it easy to precisely align cuts from the left or right.
  • Compact: Whether you’re carrying the KAPEX to a job site or keeping it in your workshop, you’ll appreciate the lightweight, compact design of this portable saw.
  • Miter Lock: The miter lock on the Kapex provides an extremely aggressive hold preventing inadvertent movement even when near a positive detent.
  • MMC Electronics: With variable speed capability, the Kapex enables you to match the speed of the blade to the requirements of the material, preventing burned or melted materials.
  • Blade Kerf & Guard Design: The Kapex blade creates a thin kerf which reduces load on the motor and improves the cut quality. The blades are designed to reduce noise levels and dampen vibration. The large 30 mm arbor hole reduces blade deflection. The clear, narrow guard is also designed to improve dust extraction efficiency and visibility. These features allow Kapex to collect up to 91% of the saw dust when using a 36 mm dust extraction hose.
  • Miter Scale: The stainless steel, etched miter scale on the Kapex is large and easy to read. The miter scale provides positive detents at common angles for quick reference. The scale reads up to 50º to the left and 60º to the right.
  • Direct drive motor: The 1,600 Watt motor in the Kapex utilizes direct drive for a more efficient transfer of energy to the blade.
  • Trenching Capability: Another unique feature of the Kapex is a special 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.
  • Capacity to rival 12" saws: Rivaling most 12" saws, the KAPEX can handle 4-3/4" in its special cutting position, and 6-5/8" crown in the nested position. Can cut miters from 50° (left) to 60° (right).
  • Durable, easy-to-read scales: Easily read and adjust cutting angles without straining your eyes. Oversized bevel scale facilitates precision angle setting and improves readability.

Outstanding

Was not really sure about the price - but it has blown me away with how well it cuts and the different features it has - took on a recent job and was easier for me to transport and set up. Loved the dust extractor also that I used with it for a previous purchase . Using together left minimal dust that I used in the customers basement . I like the dual laser for cutting, it’s easy to adjust for miter cuts
