The second part to my walk through of the Kapex 60 and also the mobile stand with the amazing adapter plate is done. You can see it here if you want to grab a coffee and take a seat for 20 minutes.
Not on any of those other timbers you mentioned. I thought that Jarrah would have been a very good representative of Australian hardwoods.Untidy Shop said:Agree [member=56306]David Stanton[/member] , that 'aged' Jarrah timber cut was the real test. Have you tried it on RedGum, Blackwood or non plantation [ie seasoned old growth] Mountain Ash?
Thanks for two very comprehensive videos.

Thanks mrb.mrB said:Thanks Dave! Another great video review.
I'm am pretty disappointed to realise that the KS 60 doesn't seem to have the capacity to comfortably cut a 45degree bevel on a 2x4. You said you measured about 42mm of clearance with the head of the saw tilted to the left (even less if tilted to the right)
Yes tino. The hose will hit unless you use a right angle bend. View attachment 1tino_ale said:Hi,
If one intends to use the KS 60 in a workshop, you'd want the saw to be pushed back as far as possible. In such a case, does the dust extraction hose gets in the way ? or can it swivel to the side and allow the back of the saw to touch the wall ?
mrB said:^^^ Peter, you're review is still much anticipated! It is truly great to have Dave now offering great quality video reviews on Festool, but when it comes to buying Festool I appreciate all the reviews, opinions, and videos I can get before I make my decision.
Very hard to eclipse the the reviews coming form the New Brit Workshop!

Cheers.

[member=38970]thylaxene[/member] , to my knowledge they have not offered the work stand as a package with the KS60. However the current promotion catalogue ending on March 31 offers a workstand promotion price of A$200 off. See page 3.

[size=6pt]Free freight is common place these days for festool products. The prices quoted are nothing special, they run with the promotion until March 31. Carbatec offer free freight on items over $200. Same price pretty much where ever you buy.thylaxene said:Does any AU users know where the Kapex 60 set has gone from the Festool AU site?

[member=38970]thylaxene[/member]. Whilst browsing a Melb dealer's web site just now I found -https://www.justtools.com.au/festoo...e-saw-trolley-ks60-kapex-574788-ks60e-ug-set/
They offer free freight, so if interested you could contact them via their website.
