Better than the Kapex?

[Woodwork Wizard]

The Kapex mitre saw is a very very wonderful saw and I absolutely adore mine, but I use the Festool SYM-70 far more often. It will easily cut 70x80mm so plenty more capacity than I would usually require in most circumstances, I think the dust extraction is equal to the Kapex if not better and I think the cut quality is certainly just as good as the Kapex. The SYM-70 is certainly much easier to transport as it's both small and very light at under 10 kg in weight. With 2 x 18mm boards underneath the saw on top of a Systainer stack the table of the saw is exactly 900mm so that's my saw-stand, along with a roller stand for material support.

Most of my income is from making built-in furniture and I use the SYM-70 to construct solid wood frames, a lot of this work is frequently in upstairs rooms and taking the Kapex with the UG cart up and down stairs can be awkward.

I have considered importing that saw numerous times.
