Hi, I have a Kapex 120 that was just repaired by Festool for a bad motor. They did an excellent job with that repair and I have the saw back. The problem I have now is that my bevel adjustment knob to the right of the pistol grip was solid when I sent the saw in for repair. When I got it back, it has quite a bit of annoying wobble/play in the knob. That was not present when I sent it in for repair.  I paid a fair amount for the repair, they did a thorough job with the original problem and I am happy with it - but kind of expected to start with a saw in ‘perfect’ shape. I called Festool and a product application expert called back and told me to send the saw in again. He was very nice and helpful. Is it worth sending in?  I have attached a link to a video demonstrating the wobble. I’m leaning towards sending it in because I feel like it should not have any issues after a paid repair.
 
Do send it in as I assume they'll cover the fix free of charge. You can't tell if the wobby knob may deteriorate into something more serious down the road, at which time, if it does happen, you'll have to foot the repair bill. Lastly, if you one day sell the saw, potential buyers would see that as a problem.
