REGULARS - PRODUCTS RAIL FORWARD WITH FESTOOL The Festool Kapex Sliding Compound Miter Saw has a unique ‘rail forward’ design that includes a pair of large 30mm diameter stationary rails on the front side of the saw. The wide spacing of the rails adds stability and rigidity, and because the Kapex's head assembly slides, there are no protruding rails behind the saw. It allows you to put the tool closer to a wall in your shop. This feature, combined with the small foot print of 61cm x 71cm and light weight of the magnesium alloy base, makes it a space saving tool that is easy to transport.

The high-quality aluminium oxide and silicon carbide wheels sharpen at least 150 HSS/wood bits and 75 masonry/SDS. It fits any domestic power drill or cordless unit.
