The Festool KAPEX KS 120 REB is a 10-inch sliding compound miter saw built for precision rather than job-site speed. Its dual-line lasers project the blade kerf on both sides of the cut, a micro-adjustment knob dials in bevel angles, and the rail-forward design lets it sit flush against a wall. It miters 50° left and 60° right and bevels 47° both ways, going past 45° for out-of-square walls and crown molding. Owners rate it highly for cut accuracy and dust collection; the trade-offs are weight, complexity and the cost of the saw plus a dust extractor to get the claimed 99.97% extraction.

Owners rate the KAPEX very highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 89 ratings. They praise its cut accuracy, the lasers and the dust collection, and most criticism centers on weight and cost rather than cut quality.
The Festool KAPEX KS 120 REB is a sliding compound miter saw for crosscuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts and compound miter cuts. It miters 50° to the left and 60° to the right, and bevels 47° left and right. The extra 2° past the standard 45° helps with crown molding and with walls that aren't square.
Dual-line lasers show the kerf of the blade and how much material will be cut. They are fully adjustable and make it easy to align cuts from the left or the right. A micro-adjustment knob dials in the bevel angle to fractions of a degree. The counter spring balanced bevel holds the head at any angle, even when it isn't locked.
The rail-forward design lets the saw sit flush against a wall and still cut bevels and miters. It also gives the saw a compact footprint. A special cutting position uses the back portion of the blade for greater capacity and is locked in with a lever. A rubber dust hood behind the blade directs dust into the dust port. The head locks down for transport, and the FastFix system changes the blade with one hand.
