Cannot make square cuts with Kapex 120REB

[Zafar]

Hi, I have bad cut issues with my now third Kapex. Does not seem to be a solution from Festool. My third one is in for a second repair attempt. Not too hopeful. Currently shopping for a replacement brand. Do you have any recommendations.

I returned it for a refund. Bought a used bosch 12". was able to dial it in within 30 minutes. And it only cost less than 1/3 of the price

Find someone with ‘good’ kapex and if it is the same the problem is you.

Thank you. Did not know they existed. It seems they may be competition for the Original Saw Company.

Maggi also has a few pretty nice radial arm saws. Some available in single phase. https://www.maggiusa.com/Maggi-Radial-Arm-Saw-Machine-Junior-640-p/mag-junior640.htm

The right side bad cut has been reported by others. My first Kapex lasted 9 years without this problem. So, like Festool offer of tutoring I am confident I am not the source of the problem.
