Timothy Walz let me know how it goes for you.

Love your channel David. The top reason I went with the Kapex was that bevel adjustment. It is just such a smooth process to get to the exact angle needed. Better than previously tightening and tapping the saw with my palm to get it where I wanted.

This is absolutely the best video on the Kapex I've seen on KZread. I've had mine for a few months now and thought I knew everything about it and here you've introduced me to more of it's cool features. On the other hand now that I've seen your table and Systaner setup I think I have start all over again...

I've just stumbled upon your review as I've never really paid much attention to Festool. I really must thank you and say that IMHO this was one of the best single tool reviews I've seen. It has been a toss up between the Makita LS1219L and the Dewalt DWS780. Now you've just dropped this monster saw on me.

I have owned the Makita LS1219L for 7 years. I cannot recommend buying this saw. The accuracy is poor and dust collects in the spring hinge area making it impossible for the blade guard to work properly.

I was sold before i watched, now i'm totally convinced

Dave, Thank you for the details. I just Purchased the 120. I'll give my old Dewalt to my son.

I have just got into the festool craze. With a ts55 and a ct26. Not cheap by any means but i must say its blown my mind and wish i had taken the plunge earlier. I am halfway through building a built in wardrobe and was really struggling with controlling tge chipout on the melamine. My god, the ts55 straight out of the box is doing factory edge cuts with the standard blade... every time. Your videos helped me jump into the festool world. Thank you. Will not be my last festool purchase!!

hi David Nice informative video. Not just can do this and that, but also why and how. I am new to mitersaws, just started using one, but never bored during the 16+ min. I realy like your dustcollecting work in your shop, impressive! I have seen lots of videos about dust control work, ending up being very efficient dust distributing systems. Visible dust collected and fine invisble dust being redistributed or left back in the shop. And the owners being very happy. The mitersaws seem the worst ones to have the dust contained and removed when dustcollecting. (maybe excluding freehand routing). I am going to build one for the shop I use, and are thinking a box and shaped, heavy plast curtain in front. Your solution with the slots is impressing, and, especially the rounding ot the edges. We loose about 50% airflow/sucktion with a charp egded inlet. Yours are the first I have seen having so much areodynamic thinking behind the airflow design. Thank you ToNys

A very good review David. Probably the best I've seen on the saw. You've talked me into it. I've been wanting to replace my 12" DEWALT sliding miter saw for some time. The Bosch Glide saw was in the running because I have several 12" blades and I hate to give up the cutting capacity of my DEWALT but I need a slider that takes up less room behind it. So I guess I will store the DEWALT until needed and get the Kapex 120. Your review made it an easy decision. Thanks. Ron
