Kapex KS 120 Dimensions please?

Hi All, My first post here so be gentle!

I really need a sliding mitre saw, but have very limited space so most of the 'two-railers' are out of the question since the rails go so far back my bench simply isn't big enough. So I f realised the Kapex KS120 may be the answer  but can't find anyone with the 'useful' measurements I need, and that is; I've accepted I'm going to have the long 'handle' sticking out over my bench but could anyone provide the KS120 dimensions from the front, round edge of the base to the very back of the  saw, since this is actually the crucial dimension (I think?) any advice for a newbie would be most welcome! Thank you.

The only two alternatives to the 'no sticking out of the back rails' saw is the Dewalt DW777 (too small, no laser, no trenching) and the Hitachi C12RSH (rails are forward working but its a massive beast)

580mm from back  to the front of the KAPEX base (e.g the bit you need on a surface), 780mm from back to front of handle.. measuraemens are give or take 10mm

The new Bosch glider doesn't have the rails hanging out of the back, but I believe it's considerably larger (and heavier) than the Kapex, so it's probably not going to work for you.

Thanks Bob, yup I looked at the Glide but as you say its massive compared to the Kapex, and not available in the UK for some time yet.  And thanks to Matt I now have that vital bit of info, info for me to choose the KS120.

Thank you both.
