The KAPEX KS 120 remains the most advanced sliding compound miter saw on the market today. Carpenters, furniture-makers, and serious hobbyists will appreciate this saw’s unmatched precision when making crosscuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and compound miter cuts. Plus, with stand-out features like dual lasers, a fine adjustment knob for bevel angles, and a forward-rail design, the KAPEX outsmarts and outperforms other miter saws in its class.

Along with the standard ability to cut up to 45° both left and right, the KAPEX can actually go up to 47° maximum. This is especially helpful when cutting crown molding or tapered columns for walls that are not perfectly square. That extra 2° allows you to achieve a long point-to-point match on corners, making sure the odd-angled joint is as tight as possible. Adjustments are made via the angle knob with easy-to-read settings.

The forward-rail design on the KAPEX allows you to set it right up against the wall and still have the ability to cut bevels and miters. This also means that the KAPEX has a compact footprint, giving you more space around the shop or at the jobsite. Fully-adjustable dual-line lasers clearly define the cut area, making it easy to align cuts from the left or the right.

Besides the usual position for cutting or trimming boards/panels, the KAPEX incorporates a special cutting position that provides greater cutting capacity by utilizing the back portion of the blade. The KAPEX is locked into the special cutting position with the flip of a lever. Cut crown molding up to 6-5/8" in the nested position, providing a cutting capacity equal to some 12" miter saws. You can also cut material vertically up to 4-3/4" in height!

Dust extraction on the KAPEX is efficient and simple. A dust hood positioned at the rear of the blade directs saw dust from the blade into the dust port. This pliable rubber hood arrests chips and helps the KAPEX achieve up to 91% dust extraction when using a 36mm dust extractor hose reducing the time spent cleaning up. If you're looking for a Dust Extractor to pair with your KAPEX, the CT 15 fits perfectly underneath the saw in the compatible Kapex Mobile Stand.

The KAPEX KS 120 accepts saw blade sizes 260mm diameter x 30mm bore. Shop all miter saw blades >

Features
  • Portability: The head of the KAPEX locks down during transport, 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: Includes the MiterFast, an angle transfer device. 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
