The FESTOOL KAPEX KS 120 REB: A Cutting-Edge Tool for Woodworking Professionals

As woodworking professionals seek the pinnacle of precision and efficiency in their tools, the FESTOOL KAPEX KS 120 REB sliding compound miter saw stands out as a leading choice. Light yet packed with features, the updated 2022 model of this saw combines advanced technology with user-friendly functionality, making it ideal for both the workshop and job site environments.

Key Features of the FESTOOL KAPEX KS 120 REB

Enhanced Precision with Rail Forward Design

The KAPEX KS 120 features a rail forward design that not only increases precision but also creates a compact footprint. This design prevents head play, ensuring accurate cuts every time.

With twin-column guides reinforced by two bearings, the saw maintains exceptional stability and accuracy during operation.

The guides significantly enhance ergonomics and body mechanics for the user. By positioning the rails forward, the design allows for easier access and less reaching, reducing strain on the back and shoulders during extended use.

Upgraded Motor and Base for Extended Service Life

The KS 120 REB KAPEX upgraded motor now features internal enhancements that boost efficiency and durability, ensuring a longer lifespan.

The latest model has significantly changed the motor structure to increase its service life.

The new base includes integrated sliding table extensions, providing a larger work surface area for material support.

This base remains compatible with existing accessories, such as Crown Stops and UG Extensions.

Innovative Dust Extraction System

The saw includes a bayonet-style dust port that creates a positive connection with the latest generation of Cleantec hoses, ensuring up to 91% dust extraction. 

This feature, coupled with the behind-the-cut dust hood and pivoting 36 mm hose, keeps the workspace clean and clear of debris, enhancing safety and visibility. This is particularly advantageous in settings like schools, hospitals, or residential areas, where minimizing environmental disruption and maintaining air quality are critical.

The efficient dust management system not only keeps the work area visibly clean but also extends the lifespan of tools and workpieces by keeping them free from abrasive debris.

Dual Lasers and Micro-Adjustable Bevel Angles

Dual-line lasers mark exactly where the material will be removed, allowing for precise alignment from either side of the blade.

Adjustments are made simple with a micro-adjustable bevel angle featuring an up-front rotary knob. A large bevel scale and fine pointers ensure that setting precise angles is straightforward and accurate.
