Festool Kapex KS 120 REQ overview

Festool Kapex KS 120 REQ overview

[@robb4751]

I just bought a Bosch 12 inch sliding miter and minus just a few features it does just about everything this saw does for less than half the price. Festool seriously needs to come out of the northern hemisphere with their prices.

[@Shapenupeugene]

Festool is for people who are willing to pay for quality. At least we have options. Most of their tools have unique features that are basically non existent in other tool manufacturer. I wish I could afford it myself.

[@PetiteBluebirdgirl]

​​@@Shapenupeugene festool, Bosch and a few other great tools are German, so the technolgy is similar and the quality is much the same. Festool is similar to Bosch Blue.

[@hewittgordon8843]

Does the Bosch come equipped with a laser ????

[@octaviooctavio819]

Yes😳….. would ya believe it

[@iOSAT]

The top 3 criticisms I see about this saw are price, price, and price - if it does a better job (for its purposes, at least) then I want the best option. I found the Bosch to have a few arguably personal issues, and when testing one recently I had a friend with me who “didn’t like them” but kept finding things he didn’t realize it could do. I’m also already into the Festool ecosystem for a handful of products that have been game changers for me, so I’m already prepared for the price

[@gitbox]

This is the first of your videos I've watched where you talk. I've been mesmerized by all the asmr woodworking videos

[@cernunnoskali]

Has to be the best workshop mitre saw in the world. Most of my work is on-site, but I would love one of these in my workshop.

[@jamesmartin5277]

First time I went to change the blade using the supplied tool, I found the blade was secured so tightly at the factory, the tool broke! And yes I turned clockwise! Other than that a great saw. Upgraded from the Dewalt 780

[@iOSAT]

THANK YOU, I’m preparing to buy one after briefly using one and I just don’t have time for the 30-1hr+ videos going over the saw features

Лучшему Мастеру соединений - лучшая Машина торцевания‼️ Булатный лайк мой 👍

[@Pattington22]

Great review! Question though - I’ve noticed in your more recent videos that you’re using a Makita mitre saw. Did you move away from the Kapex, and if so, curious as to your experience.

[@spooln30]

Such a great quick tool review.

[@klaasdrent5427]

The best festool video ever !

[@onecreative1]

Great fast and simple review!

[@agent7agent759]

Went back and forth between mitre saws and ended up with makita 40v 12" mitre saw and I really like it , it's on the heavy side but it's very accurate out of the box , if festool wasn't so expensive I would've consider it, but can't justify the cost and it doesn't offer much than my makita exempt for 3 or 4 futures but I wasn't after that , overall if I choose again will be makita again

[@giuseppecastaldo644]

Hi, kapex and a good tool for you? I'm undecided between makita and ls1219 and kapex120.

[@agent7agent759]

@Giuseppe castaldo kapex is undeniably a good tool but the price tag is very stiff and the tool has cutting capacity limitations, thats the reason I went with makita 40v 12" , but if your business can justify the price and suits your needs by all means go for the kapex , I own lots of festool tools and I am very satisfied and I enjoy using both of my dominoes the track saws vacuum and the sanders , they are second to none ,

[@BruceBoschek]

Terrific review! Thanks a lot!

[@colinbrodie9849]

That's the BEST overview of the Kapex that I've watched. Thanks pal.

[@maydanlex]

Thanks for the overview...helpful

[@milkod2001]

Looks great however would rather get bosch professional or makita with 305mm blade capacity. I'm sure they are all equally good. It all comes down to quality of blade anyway.

[@lesbentley4082]

Man I would like to get one of those…but the price!! Quality machine !!

[@lesbentley4082]

@gae over $2000 in Canada!

[@xostler]

Having used Festool stuff before. It’s so totally worth it.

[@xostler]

@gae well obviously it’s on a use case basis. I’m just saying they’re not overvalued. You get (most of) every pennys worth if you’re top-tier cabinetry shop.

[@cesarsalvestro2766]

THANKS !!!

[@carliecumner2100]

When changing the saw blade that’s dial that locks the blade also isolates the power so the saw cannot turn on… can be used to kid/idiot proof your saw when not in use…

Hello, you are really unique

[@lastditch727]

Been a production trim carpenter for 11 years now. I've yet to see one kapex on a jobsite. For me, I think that pistol grip would be a deal breaker.

[@pf5658]

@ lastditch727 Well for one thing they’re expensive than most other miter saws and some guys wouldn’t want to take this saw to a job site to get abused by other workers knowing how expensive the thing is. I know I wouldn’t.

[@nicholassinovich4257]

@1:33 you mention half degrees... I understand the half marks but when you adjust it to 20.5, your main center mark is actually on the 21.5 ish degree.... so which is it and why?

[@ThanhHuynh-qs1dj]

How do you use the blade to make grooves?

[@hewittgordon8843]

When locked down it acts like a radial arm saw

[@Mike-kz4yv]

Finally got one ,worth every penny 😅

[@johnfrederickson3082]

Have you abandon Makita?

[@joeblow-fr3mz]

Little late to the party but it really doesn't look like you are using that half degree mark properly. You went well past 19. You should go to the 20 with your middle mark then go till the half degree mark lines up with the next mark.

[@serq99]

Exactly what I was going to say. The way he did it seemed like a 18.5 degree (as the half degree marks actually seem to be 1.5 degree from the main mark) and 20.5 would be getting the other half degree mark on 19 (so it is a one and a half degree MORE than 19).

[@boylay2041]

Ok
