The KAPEX is the most advanced sliding compound miter saw in the market today — making cuts that rival the finest trim work. Light in weight and heavy in features, the KS 120 is the perfect saw for the workshop or the jobsite.
Effective dust extraction, precise cuts, easy adjustments, and quality components are some of the features that should make this saw the number one choice of professional tradesmen.
All Festool power tools include a 3-year wear-and-tear warranty, 2-day standard repair time, and 1-month satisfaction guarantee.
The KAPEX features a rail forward design which increases precision and creates a compact footprint while preventing head play for accurate cuts.
Easily align cuts from the left or right side using the dual lasers. The lasers clearly define the material which will be removed during the cut.
Micro-adjustable bevel angle with up-front rotary knob. Large bevel scale and fine pointers make it easy to set precise bevel angles.
Dust extraction up to 91% with behind the cut dust hood and pivoting 36 mm hose.
Precision: When you need the most precise cut imaginable every time, the KAPEX is second to none.
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.
Dust control: Work wherever you need to — in client homes, in small workshop, on outdoor job sites — without worrying about the mess and time-waste of dust.

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
Miter Lock: The miter lock on the Kapex provides an extremely aggressive hold preventing inadvertent movement even when near a positive detent
More Features
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
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

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
