So, I did a lot of simple cuts with my new Kapex last week to check alignment, table and lasers. All set with virtually no adjustments needed. Perfect!
Brought the Kapex up the house in Georgia where I have a long honey-do list of repairs to complete...one of which is a new Fence gate to replace a rotting and rusted one. Golden opportunity to use the Kapex! Excellent!
All the vertical 1x4 slats cut to size and Kapex running through them like butter! Woohoo!
Next the 2x4 primary frame cuts. Three lengths all just peachy! Fantastic!
Time to miter the cross brace 2x4. Measured the length and angles four times to be absolutely sure. Pencil lines drawn and first cut needs a 52 degree miter. Angle set, board clamped, laser dead on line, and cut. What the heck is that noise??? [scared] That sure don't sound like wood! [eek] Oh....you're supposed to spread the fence for deep miters!!!! [doh] Oops! Nice mitered edge on my left fence now. [crying] Oh well....didn't hurt the blade, just my ego. PRICELESS!!! [big grin]
DO love my Kapex. [drooling]
Cheers,
Frank
