Why A Miter Saw? Get answers with

[@BenM81]

Just got my Ks 60 last week. I never knew it was possible to be in love with a machine but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@festoolusa]

So glad to hear you are loving it!

[@TheJasbmx]

Your supposed to hold the piece on the side of the stopper for kick back prevention , ask me how i know.

[@danthechippie4439]

How does it compare to the other festool mitre saw? The one that the motor stays stationary and the fences move to atcheave the angles. Sorry I can't remember the name of it

[@coolbugfacts1234]

The SYMC 70 is really just meant for flooring and trim, it comes with wheels on the base so you can roll it around while kneeling as you install trim. It doesn't have sliding rails, so it can't do trench cuts, and it doesn't look like the blade can tilt, since you'll always be cutting at 90.

Thank you ​@@coolbugfacts1234

[@festoolusa]

To add on to @coolbugfacts1234 , we also do not offer the SYMC 70 in the North American Market! As of right now, our Kapex 120 and KSC 60 make up our sliding saw family.

​@@festoolusa Do you have plans for a cordless 10" size blade for taller capacity?

[@kristianmagnusson7591]

What is the brand of the toolpocket you use there?

[@coolbugfacts1234]

That's the Sedgeley pouch, the company is called Leather By Dragonfly. I have one, they're very well built and made in the US

[@davidmatke248]

I believe that's the Sedgeley Utility Pouch, which is made by Leather by Dragonfly.

I thought you weren’t supposed to run the Kapex through the CT outlet? Don’t forget your safety glasses, great video, wicked pissah, maybe you can teach Curly how to run it in the next one?

[@benfisher7855]

I run my Kapex through my ct vac all the time with no issues

I'm debating. I would like a new table saw. I really want a sawstop. But I'm a bit further away from affording that. But then I think.... If I had a better Miter saw... say... this one. LOL. Then I could totally make due with my current table saw since I have the TSC 55 and an MFT/3 table.

[@5280Woodworking]

I love my Kapex, but SawStop > any miter saw.

[@RonGuilbault]

Here is my formula. Can I rip or cross cut it with my track saw first especially partnering with an MFT. If I cam going to do a lot of cross cuts, out comes the miter saw and wings. Then and only if I have a lot of narrow rips, say taking the edge of off a 2x4, then out comes the table saw. Of the Track, Miter and Table, that table saw is last to come out. And sometimes depending on the project all three are set up for specializes functions. WIth an MFT I can set up all sorts of jigs too. No cross cut sleds to make or store. And I save a lot of room with no ginormous table saw.

I use my Kapex for all my crosscuts unless unless I max out the width. Great and accurate miter saw. Thansk for the video. Observation... I noticed you don't wait for the saw blade to a stop before you raise the blade. I found it can be dangerous to do so, especially with small cutoffs. Also, I was told with a sliding miter saw you should lower the blade when possible in front of the workpiece and then push it into the cut. Any thoughts?

[@AaronGeller]

starting the blade ahead of the workpiece will lead to maximum dust collection

Why no hearing protection?

[@gussgoldenworkshop9259]

You must not have been in the service as Jason. When we leave the service, we're all legally deaf, so who needs ear protection friend?
