I searched for a comparison, and found this:

If you need a boat anchor, get the bosch. 

I would buy another Kapex with out thinking twice about it.

I have the Kapex and absolutely love it.  All the actions are smooth and the cut is perfect.

I have kapex and recently played with the glide at a show, I love my kapex it's amazing but the glide is smoother too pull back and forward, not sure if that's a good or bad thing but on another note it's HUGE and the dust shroud is half the size of the kapex and is paper thin and the stand with the wheels for it are ridiculous need a separate van just for it lol . Get a kapex is my opinion

I have an older Bosch,5412 I think, and recently purchased the Kapex. I went and checked out the new Bosch and wasn't sufficiently impressed. The reason I went for a new chop saw is because my older Bosch weighs a ton. I'm just too tired of lugging that monster around.
As someone else mentioned the new Bosch is very similar to the older models. I honestly looked at it and played with it and didn't find any great improvement in it. Sure the glide is better, it looks newer and different, etc. but overall the components, feel, etc were very similar to my existing Bosch. And yes the new one weighed a ton just like the old one.
The price of the Kapex is a bit of a disgrace. You just have to close your eyes and forget about it. One of the great features of the Kapex is its simplicity and lack of add on fu fu. You look at other brand chop saws and there's all kinds of stuff going on. The Kapex is simple and boring looking but it gets the job done better. DC is great and the lack of weight is the real winner. Festool does need to make some improvements though in order to stay competitive over time.
If this will be a shop saw, buy the Bosch and use the extra money for whatever else. If this will be a mobile saw buy the Kapex and pucker up.

I would try it a Kapex out on the 30 day trial and see how it works for you -- nothing to lose other than time if you decide it is not for you.  If you do not like it, return it and go with the Bosch.

I have a hood on mine, with vac. Works great.

I just wanted to pipe up and say a thing.

I am surprised when I hear tradesmen moaning about the price of tools, and Festool stuff gets moaned about louder than any other. I am surprised doubly so to hear moaning about price here.

I currently run a DeWault 12" single bevel miter saw, and have been for about... crap like 15 years now. It has been a good little performer, and it has had all of it's limitations, heavy, dusty, stiff, etc. It will be replaced with a Kapex, soon.

The price difference between a Kapex and my second choice, a Makita slider, is about $600. I believe that Makita is a good saw, I also believe the Kapex is better. When I imagine using both for the next 10 years and try to put a value on the additional ease and function of a Kapex, for 10 years; and divide out the price difference over 10 years, 60 a year, honestly seems like a bargain.

A company like Festool that is seriously pushing the envelope in tool design, and employing folks for a living wage in their home country vs. exploiting cheap labor has real additional value to me as well beyond the value a better tool will bring over it's lifetime.

We all want good manufacturing jobs until it comes time to pony up and pay the extra cost associated with providing them. We all want kick  tools until they cost more than the competition.

I want tools crafted by artists for artists, and when I find them I call that a bargain.

Well although I had a Kapex and got rid of it, between those two saws I would say the kapex for sure.

A quick Google will show all the shortcomings of that particular Bosch saw.

I've got the Bosch axial.  Hate to say it but my dealers kapex has been broken twice during demos!  I wanted to try it out on two different occasions and it was broke at different times months apart.  That sacred me a  bit when was on the fence between the two saws.  Ive seen threads saying the kapex has broken from a chunk of wood flying up and breaking a bearing. It should be noted if the kapex breaks you will find no better company than festool to fix your saw free of charge if it ever breaks.    My axial has taken three of the hardest falls and tumbles i could ever imagine with the saw surviving unhurt.  The falls all made me cringe and it still works and cuts perfectly.  The bosch is tough as heck and i can guarantee that now.  15" of travel, and I have used every inch of that and I love it.  Its glide system is just davine, I recommend you try it.  The bevel mechanism is great too, I've been doing interior trim and the bevel being at the front is a great innovation. Another thing I like is  that with the flip of a thumb you can disengage the miter detents while swinging the saw left to right.  This feature should be on every saw, cause it is so annoying when the saw wants to slide into the detent when you are trying to make a cut slightly to either side.  I've used the saw a ton and couldn't be happier.  It is heavy, if you're a wimp you may want another saw, but I move it around no problem, granted I'm 31 years old and no wimp.  It also can only take one laser, kapex has two, not a real big deal but that is something I wish it had.  Being able to bring the work in from the left and the right with two lasers is something the kapex owns as a plus.  Also the dust collection is not great, I'm sure the kapex is much better.  

I absolutely love my axial glide and know I made the right decision, but honestly you have to weigh what is most important for you.  I took many months deciding which saw to get, and after the abuse my Bosch has taken it was with out a doubt the right pic for me.  I had a broken lever on the fence that broke during shipping, a wonderful woman for the Bosch customer service sent me a new lever free of charge immediately no questions asked.  I was impressed, and she was great to talk with. I think the festool saw must be treated like a delicate tool.  So if you get the kapex, just be careful with it, the Bosch can literally be tossed down stairs, I've seen mine do it thanks to my dopey helper.

Oh definitely in the depth of cut the Bosch would cut deeper.  But if I were only doing fine work, like trimming and cabinetry sort of stuff, the kapex is the tool for that with all it's own features. I do everything so the Bosch more fit my needs.  I see the kapex in my future, hopefully they add some new goodies when I finally get it.  I think it's an amazing saw and I wish I had some extra coin to use it permanently in my enclosed trailer to keep the dust down in there.

jbc   I would first buy a dead accurate square, straight edge and 45 degree block. These could cost $300.00 but if taken care of will last forever. Order you're Kapex and right out of the box check the fence for straightness with feeler gauges. Check the table for square to the fence. Next check the saw blade for 90 degrees off the fence. Check the blade for 90 degrees off the table at several positions. Put the head at 45 degree bevel to the table and check with the square and the 45 degree block at several positions. If any of these fail send back before 30 days and order another and go through same procedure. For $1,300.00 you should get a fine tuned saw ready to go. Kapex seems to be best for dust pickup. MARK

Well said!

This doesn't get mentioned enough here. For me, the fact that Festool is made in Germany vs. china is a HUGE factor. Just go visit a german factory and you will come back amazed. That being said, I know bosh is german as well, but are any of their tools made in Germany? (real question)
