Festool Kapex KS-60 for the U.S.

[Intex]

While I was in the Netherlands I saw the KS60, and was wondering if it was here yet, or if there is a date it’s coming?
Maybe I should have bought one there and just used a voltage converter

Also I saw 2 Festool tools that looked like table saws ? Was it an upside down track saw in a table?? Store was closed so I couldn’t go in and ask although I have a picture somewhere

There hasn't been any announcement about bringing the smaller Kapex (KS60) to the US that I know of.

In Europe they have many more items than we see here in North America.  The saws you mentioned were probably the CS-50 and CS-70 saws.  Not here either.

They also have the adaptor plates that allow the TS saws to mount in the CMS assembly.  Also not here.

I saw one for 845 on eBay I’m not sure if it was GBP or Euros
Plus freight to us , it will be pretty expensive, still I’m thinking about it, as I’m not happy with my Makita since it can’t be positioned against a wall

Just a heads up - if that saw needs service you may not be able to get that here in North America.

Understood, but I’ve never had any repair work done to power tools, even changing brushes on drills was eventually replaced by getting a new drill for about the same $. And now they’re all brushless

Always been an early adopter and have been bringing in things from Europe since the 70’s
