I've managed to get my hands on a used hand Kapex from 2010 on our equivalent of craigslist for a reasonable price. I'm a bit wary about used tools. You never know the history of the tool. But a brand new Kapex is kind of too exuberant for me, so I made the gamble.
The saw has some obvious signs of useage. Scratches on the bed, some chipped paint here and there, and the left side of the bed isn't 100% in line with the rotating central part, maybe 0.5mm off.
I haven't done any cuts to check for accuracy and calibration and such, but after some short useage I haven't really detected anything wrong that pops out at me. But I was thinking that after 4 years of visible use, maybe it might be a good idea to send it in for a once over by a Festool technician anyway?
What's your take on this?
I'll give a cleaning and post some pictures in a few hours, so you can get a better idea.
