Festool Live Episode 24 - KAPEX KS 120

I remember when people fell for the mask scam, and the jab.... LOL

Just super. Put your mask on.

FESTOOL, a melhor ferramenta do mundo.

The guy waffles a lot.

How about someone that’s not from eastern sea board…his accident bugs me after a long speech…West Coast buys Festool too.

Masks are pointless

Allright, WOOOH..!

Your pricing is just obnoxious and it’s that simple.

Does the new saw have the option of a shadow line or still only laser here in the USA?

Extraordinary saw- miles and miles above any other saw I have owned- the work piece clamp we use all the time!

What’s up with the hold down catching. Mine caught the first time I used it after unboxing. I followed the advice of some posts and got it released. I use your technique of pushing back on the body and dropping the shaft before I lock it. The locking seems to be putting little notches in the shaft that eventually start catching again and need to be knocked down. Also, when I managed to pull too hard and have my shaft exit the housing, I had a devil of a time getting it back on due to the little spring wire that became an obstruction. Can you do a deeper dive on the hold down and how to deal w/ these types of issues?

great episode!! I took my laser lense out it was filthy covered in resin cleaned it and now it is so sharp great tip Thanks 🙏!from uk

This Kapex & Wings footprint is very small but big at the same Tim. Cut trim in a kitchen and hallway for a bathroom, what a time saver. The stops on the wings were so helpful

I LOVE Sedge !!! He is so funny and makes it not only educational but fun ! Keep up the great work guys!!

Great video, as usual! You do an amazing and entertaining job explaining everything!! Please keep the videos coming!

What size hose are you using?

Thanks for sharing your time! KANSAS

What is the correct method in collapsing the ks120 when on the stand for transportation

Don't like this guy, sorry.

What size torx screw do I need to remove the insert so I can install a zero clearance insert?

Your terrific. I wish we could grab a ne’er together. Question. I live on San Juan island in Washington. I’m not getting a 90 degree cut. What number do I call for assistance on calibration? Be well.

Can I use the extensions without the stand?

Getting ready for my jKapex arriving Saturday. 😁👍 please also make a video about the KS60

Let’s talk about the fact this saw can’t cut 5 1/4 base vertical….
$1500…. It’s an issue…..

The real way you can see how great the dust extraction is on the Kapex is use it with extraction then without. 👍🏻

I want to buy a number of Festool products ad haven't been able to find a dealer that has any in stock. i most cases they can't even give a delivery date. Do you have better information?

I am slowly convincing myself to get one of these.

Useful but gave me a headache.

Thanks for doing this.

he makes me tired

Thanks for the video. I just bought the Kapex, CT15, TS75 today...lots of great videos.

Any chance you could please deminstrate the cys power hub works? I think it's intended to make all our festool power tools cordless

I freaking swear to God, Nothing more annoying than the company "funny man" thinking he is actually funny. Cut the sh*t and joking and just demonstrate the product. Less than a minute into this and this guy is 100% a major turnoff.

There is a KAPEX 120 KS MITER SAW Supplemental User’s Manual available on their web site.

Hi. Love the videos. I’m new to festool and woodworking. I have a kapex and a mini. The hose for the mini is too small for the kapex. Is there an adapter or something ? Can I buy/connect/ use a bigger hose on the mini instead of the one that came with it for better suction? Are there any in person instructional classes? I’m in Rhode Island
Thank you

Too bad the topic of calibration was off the menu - for current owners that would probably be the most valuable thing you could discuss

I have

Woodworking Beginner:
This test is only if you want to saw with precision, with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work).
Tips and Test:
Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)!
Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade.
Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt.
Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing .
And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft.
It is very important that everything is aligned.
Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade.
Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact / Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS.

(This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails).

(If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing.

Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed).

Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine.

Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing (test is completed).

Step-4. Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade.
The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade.

Step-5. When you measure the vertical angle square of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing.

Conclusion:how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing don't go for that (the choices are yours).

Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...

Learned some things I didn't know...thanks! Festool Lives are fantastic!

Wish it was possible to buy one! I've been trying for weeks! None to be had.

I have a stand for sale with extensions in NC

Can’t wait to get mine.. thanks for the overview 👍😊

What is the cutting height for large pieces not baseboard
You did not cover the way to cut tall pieces
I am looking to buy one but don’t know the cutting height

How do you adjust the laser

What a great presentation! Short sweet and to the point.

You are the man,Sedge!!!

How about the special cutting depth?

you forgot to show the special height lock out for cutting tall pieces ;)... i'm getting pretty deep into festool products .. it's all about the "system " im a 30yr cabinet/ wood worker guy and as i get more festool products i look back and wonder how i ever lived without them .. i do ultra high end installation work and the awesome dust collection abilities allow me to work inside homes while other guys have to setup in a garage etc .. i smile as i watch them running back and forth to make a cut while I'm setup 10 ft from my project ;).. i know anything festool is as expensive as hell but .. "the system" makes it worth it .. i have both ts55 and 75 , kapex and stand , 2 mft3 tables , 1400 router, ct26, and just picked up the domino 500 a few days ago .. and of course i have just about all the accessories you can get for them . i hope they do a show on the system to show how all the tools work together to become more than the sum of the tools ;)

I really want to buy a kapex 120 but I also want cordless for when there's no power. Ive been looking at the front slide 10" makita 18v x2 mitre saw, anyone know if they are any good?
