A generously adjustable work table allows mitre cuts to the right up to 60° and to the left up to 50°. Very good cutting values of 88 mm depth and 305 mm width already offer many possibilities. But that is not all – thanks to the special cross-cut position, workpieces such as strips can be sawn up to 120 mm deep!
Ergonomically arranged recessed grips, a transport lock, a pull-out clamp and the very low weight of 21.5 kg, which is very low for professional machines, offer top mobility!
A powerful motor (1600 Watt), variable speed selection combined with a soft start, overload protection and an integrated quick brake ensure safe working.
To ensure that it is not only safe but also extremely precise, the Festool cross-cut saw Kapex KS 120 EB offers fine adjustment for setting the saw angle with millimetre precision. To simplify matters, these useful features are simply adjusted at the front of the crosscut saw.
With a built-in angle bevel, angular dimensions of inner and outer corners can be transferred to the saw easily and precisely. A double line laser helps to ensure that the subsequent cut is also precise. The double column guide ensures a safe and smooth guidance of the saw blade.
This Festool cross-cut and mitre saw also has a suction device and a chip collecting funnel for the cleanest possible work.
Of course, the Kapex KS 120 EB also has an extendable table extension. This means that even longer workpieces can be sawn safely and precisely.
In order to work in a stable and comfortable standing position, you can purchase the matching Festool work table with perforated plate.

Cons:
In terms of quality, the buyers of the Festool cross-cut saw Kapex KS 120 EB have not really had anything to complain about so far.
However, if this wonderful crosscut saw is not exactly on offer, the price is well over a thousand dollars…not exactly a bargain!
