im looking to replace my old dewalt chop saw with the kapex but just wondering if the kapex will fit on to dewalt chop saw stand,

According to reports from users here in FOG, it does fit and a few members have used this set-up.

Here is one report - click on the "Quote from:" link to see the whole message and other messages in the thread:

I use a DeWalt stand with my Kapex (and my 4 other miter saws).  I mounted a piece of 3/4" plywood to the yellow brackets (intended to be mounted directly to the base of the saw).  This gives me a flat surface to set any of the saws on without having to swap out the brackets every time.  As far as attaching/clamping the saw to the plywood, with the Kapex I use two 5/16" (I think) bolts down through the top of the base with plastic "star" knobs below the plywood.  All in all, I think the whole setup is pretty versatile.

Only slightly off topic...

Others have praised you and now it's my turn.
