I watched sooo many reviews of this saw as I was looking to buy one. I think the main gripe for most reviewers was the trigger position, and it nearly put me off buying it. However I bit the bullet and bought one... And I'm so glad I did! The trigger position does take a little getting used to, but after a while it's fine, don't let it be the decision maker! It's the best saw I've ever owned albeit a little pricey but hey I wanted to treat myself. 👍

@steverude73864 жыл бұрын
Scott, I use the Dewalt stand with my Kapex. I laminated two 1\2" pieces of ply together to make a more sturdy intermediate filler. I originally did a large piece as you did but then the saw was heavy again so I cut down to two pieces just a by larger than the Kapex foot and that works great bolts to through Kapex and Dewalt adapter. Easy to move on and off saw. Only drawback would be added height for space in your van.

Scott, I have been using power miter boxes since 1979. I found the Kapex to be the best so far. Owning this saw since 2010, I have found that the saw plugged directly to an outlet, motor is stronger, vac outlet says good for 2 amps, this saw draws 11 amps under no load. Add blue tooth to the vac if your vac allows so you can plug saw in directly into wall outlet if possible. Increase hose size to 36mm. I cut about 90% of the little vents out of the front of the blade guard, now with laser on, head up, I can see two solid red laser lines on the stock to be cut. Hand position over blade makes for almost no deflection. Have fun with the saw, makes trim work simple...

I’ve had 3 “top-of-the-line” miter saws. My Kapex was my 3rd miter saw investment, about 10 years ago. I’ve made tens of thousands of cuts. I’ve tried several friend’s high quality saws too. I see no reason to replace my original Kapex. I really like the Festool blades. If tried a couple other premium blades and still came back to my Festool blades. I have a pair of the 60 tooth blades and send them to a very reparable blade service once a year. I also have an 80 tooth blade that’s never needed resharpening.

I remember when I first heard about Festool my thought was "wow that is way way too expensive" so I went another decade without ever buying anything Festool. Recently purchased the track saw, dust extractor and a sander because I did particularly well on a few jobs and had the extra money to spend....all I can say is I wish I would have bought in to this brand years and years ago, all the ways it could have saved me time and frustration would be innumerable , I have no bought THIS saw just yet but am considering it. If it is anything as good as the track saw then it is worth every penny.The thing I love most about the track saw is I can break down sheet goods safely and accurately on a job site. at home I have a full size table saw with a table built around large enough to accommodate cutting full sheets but even in that case I am finding I like the track saw better at least for the basic breaking down of the sheet into more easily handled pieces.it is very quiet and even if you only use the bag it comes with instead of a dust extractor it is nearly dust free.I really really love it.

Hey man, a couple tips from a long time Kapex user: Zip Ties. I zip tie the detent override and the blade guard. I'm some one who almost never has to make perfect 0's or 45's. Most of my work as is done in fractions of angles and having to over come 4 detents and then possibly stepping in to one when I'm trying to cut 44.5 or some thing really pisses me off. Zip tie the Blade guard for obvious reasons. Safety first and all that but I honestly feel that some times that blade guard is unsafe. If you have any OSHA types (or equivalent) drop by you just cut the zip and you're compliant again. I guess since you film yourself all the time that might not be a good idea. Buy a zero clearance insert. I paid like 20usd for mine and it really helps with losing tiny cuts and not getting a bunch of build up down below. Some day your blade will bite in to some thing in there and you will just have to replace it any way. Just so you know, the motors on the Kapex have always been crap. I've personally burnt through 4 saws. Most of the time it happens around the 1 year mark for me. I've taken to buying the saw, getting it repaired (under warranty) and then using it until the warranty is about up. Then I sell that saw and buy a new one. They have "fixed" the motor issue multiple times over the years but I am still skeptical. This newer generation seems to have actually fixed the problem so far. I've had mine since summer of 2019 and its still making dust, so fingers crossed. I hope you remained happy with your purchase. Like I said, I've burned up 4 of these bad boys and keep buying them because the are the best. The accuracy is unapparelled. The features are incredibly well thought out. The weight is best in class.

I didn’t know they made them. The ones that come with the stand never fit the Dewalt planner. Now this should solve the problem. Thanks!

Keep up the good work. My suggestion for attaching the saw to the stand would be to extend the Dewalt brackets with a long strip of aluminium and attach the Kapex to that.

Hi Scott,just wondering did the saw need much calibration before using, my dws780 needed quiet a bit,savage saw when set up accurately though.

That is some serious baseboard. Scribing it to the floor is great as long as they don't replace the flooring. Matching smaller shoe might have been nice. I miss that double laser line my Delta saw had it, now I have a Hitachi and the single line isn't as nice. Love you videos keep them coming

Ron Paulk has perfected his smart station. aka pss 😊👏🏻👏🏻 or you could always get a pair the DeWalt DE7030 Extra Long Mounting Brackets. I found that you still need to bolt a 6mm thick piece of birch plywood to the brackets and mount the kapex on this. You will sill then be able to use your dewalt stand supports (but they will need to be set at it’s full height.)

Malcolm do you know if the dewalt supports can support the UG wings w

@@yodabert1 good question. I haven’t actually got the wings. But I can’t see any reason why they couldn’t.

Congratulations Scott! I can see that angle divider coming quite handy the next time you do ply on a ceiling. 😉
