Pica pencil with white lead is useful for dark stock.

Have you always used metric for measuring your work?

[@AnthonyScolaro1]

No, I started almost 3 years ago and I still switch between metric and imperial. I’m not exclusive to one specific system. I find them both to be great for specific situations.

Hey Anthony, I was wondering if the Kapex 120 with extension wings are able to support cuts on 1x12 boards. The wings seem so narrow.

[@AnthonyScolaro1]

The widest 1x material I’ve cut was 1x8’s and it was fine because of the clamp and I have the crown stops which can also be used as a wider support on the wings.

[@CustomWoodWorkDecor]

@@AnthonyScolaro1 in your opinion, do you think a 1x12 will be okay? 1x12 is really the main wood I cut.

[@AnthonyScolaro1]

@@CustomWoodWorkDecor in my opinion, if you’re cutting mostly just 1x12 materials, there are much cheaper saws out there to do it with. The Kapex is a very fine finish saw that is more suited for molding, trim and cabinetry. It’s super expensive with and with the UG stand, it’s pretty outrageous actually. I don’t know if you’re a professional or hobbyist, but as a professional, I can’t recommend this saw enough for the type of work I do. However if you’re not a pro, you can get amazing quality miter saws for less than half the price. But always buy what you need and can afford. You have to be happy. Me personally, I don’t really cut any boards over 6-8 inches wide on a miter saw, because the further out the miter saw travels, the less accurate and square the cut. I make those cuts on my sliding crosscut table saw or MFT table with a track saw.

@@AnthonyScolaro1 I make alot of personalized items for my home business like stove covers, wall name signs, etc. mitered boxes. I was just reading that the accuracy is second to none. Eventually I want to move into kitchen cabinets, walk in closets.

[@AnthonyScolaro1]

@@CustomWoodWorkDecor I’ve never had a better miter saw in my life, and I’ve been through many saws. I’ve had the Kapex now for almost 4 years and yes it’s still as accurate as day one. I have affiliate links in the description box for the Kapex and stand if you do decide to purchase it.
