My shop/ business burned down last month and I now have the opportunity to start fresh. I purchased my first festools this past weekend and I am very impressed. I also bought a makita 10 inch slider, now I know that saw is just fine but I am trying to justify going with as much festool as I can so I would like to include the kapex. Is there anyone out there that could give me some reasons why I need the kapex over the makita?
I am new to FOG so I hope this is not a topic that has been played out!

I agree with Justin. I have three Makita compound mitre drop saws LS1016 & I love them. the only problem is their exhaust system is bad & is messy ,saw dust everywhere
 I use two on sight & one in workshop. cleaning up is so messy. I have thought about Kapex in workshop it would hook up to my festool vacuum system & not much cleaning after use.
I believe that the capex is a great saw. Bucko

Accurate, quieter, less mess, great warranty and support, green.

Not an expet on the Makita but have had a couple of others before I bought the Kapex. Very expensve but no doubt in my mind it is the best saw on the market for finishing type work. the dual lasers are mazing and I've never seen another saw that did bevels as easily and accurately. Dust collection is superior and it is very light (only makes a difference if you are going to move it around). You really have to ask yourself what kind of use it will get and if the Kapex is worth the premium you will pay over other saws. .
