Festool KS 120R KAPEX 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw

The Festool KS 120R KAPEX 260mm Slide Compound Mitre Saw – A clever and precise sliding compound saw.

The KAPEX Sliding Compound Mitre Saw is a true example of Festool’s innovation. It’s unique design allows maximum cutting capacity of the 10 inch saw blade, enabling you to cut 120mm high skirting boards at their finished angle. Dual line laser beams clearly mark the exact width of the cut for positioning the work piece from the left or right.

The variable width, expandable side fences provide secure and precise support even for long workpieces by increasing the surface area. Fine adjustments give millimetre precision for angle and bevel cuts and the twin sliding rails ensure smooth guidance of the saw blade for the perfect cut. The compact design means no space is required behind the saw, allowing you to work easily in restricted spaces.

Guides left, guides right. Even where others only pretend to do so. With spherical bushings on both sides to offer a double layer of protection in terms of keeping the carriage precisely on course across extra-large columns. Double-sealed for an extremely long service life, always exact and with zero play.

Features

• Maximum precision for the perfect cut: The KS 120 is impressive with its precise cuts thanks to the twin-column guide, powerful cutting capacity of up to 120 mm and light weight of 21.5 kg.
• Extra large dimensions with dual ball bearings: The Festool twin-column guide guarantees reliable, smooth guidance of the saw blade and represents maximum precision.
• Quality down to the finest detail: A double laser line precisely marks the saw cut.
• Robust and mobile for harsh construction site applications: Ribbing and high-quality cast magnesium increase rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum.
• Impressive cutting capacity: The special cutting position of the KS 120 allows you to cut strip material up to 120 mm vertically against the stop or cut coving and cornices in their “original wall position”.
• MMC electronics for safe working adapted to the material: Variable speed preselection, smooth start-up, overload protection and also with integrated quick-acting brake.
• Short set-up times, good results: Always optimally prepared with FastFix for simple and quick replacement of the saw blade.
• Even greater comfort: Fine adjustment for setting the saw blade angle accurate to the millimetre. As with all important control elements, it can be adjusted quickly and conveniently from the front of the machine.
• Unlimited mobility: With ergonomic hand grips for left-handed and right-handed users, cord holder, transport safety device, clamp and an extremely compact, lightweight design.
• Saves time and eliminates errors: The bevel for rapid measurement of interior and exterior corners and subsequent simple and precise transfer to the saw.
