Festool KAPEX KSC 60 EB-Basic Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Key Features

Dead-Accurate Cuts

The twin-column guide with two bearings keeps the blade tracking smoothly through the cut. That means cleaner crosscuts with less wobble and less time fixing trim that should have fit the first time.

Cordless Full Power

This Festool sliding compound miter saw runs on a dual 18V battery setup with a brushless EC-TEC motor. You get jobsite mobility without giving up the power needed for typical all-day cutting work.

Wide Angle Range

With miter angles up to 60 degrees on each side and bevel angles up to 46 degrees right and 47 degrees left, it handles casing, molding, boards, and angled fit work without forcing compromises.

Overview

The Festool KAPEX KSC 60 EB-Basic Sliding Compound Miter Saw is a cordless precision saw built for clean crosscuts, angle cuts, and trim work on the jobsite or in the shop. This is a cordless sliding compound miter saw designed for precise crosscuts, casing, molding, and general finish carpentry. Model Number 576848 . If you need a saw that travels easier than a full-size corded unit but still gives you the angle range and cut quality pros expect, this is exactly the lane this saw lives in.

What makes this saw matter is how much cutting flexibility Festool packed into a compact format. You get miter angles up to 60 degrees left and right, plus bevel angles up to 47 degrees left and 46 degrees right. That gives you real range for trim, base, casing, and site-built finish details without dragging out extra jigs or making guess cuts. Cutting capacity is also strong for the size, with up to 12 inches by 2-3/8 inches at 90 degrees and 8-15/32 inches by 2-3/8 inches at 45 degrees.

The cut quality story starts with the twin-column guide and dual-bearing design. That setup keeps the blade moving smoothly and helps prevent wobble or deflection through the stroke. On a miter saw, that matters more than flashy numbers. Good guidance is what keeps corners closing up tight and repeated cuts matching each other. Festool also includes an LED spotlight to put the cut line where you can actually see it, which is a practical upgrade when you are working fast on trim or working in uneven site lighting.

Power comes from Festool's brushless EC-TEC motor and dual battery system using 2 x 18V packs. The benefit is straightforward: you get cordless mobility without tying yourself to an outlet or a generator, while still having the output for typical day-to-day site cutting. Variable speed gives you another layer of control when the material changes. Instead of treating every cut the same, you can better match blade speed to the workpiece and the blade you are running.
