Kapex leaking oil when stored on stand?
- Thread starter redcliff
- Start date
I had the same issue on mine - it dumped quite a bit of oil on the floor after storing it for a month or so.
Had it sent in to Festool as the saw then was only a couple of months old. They said it was perfectly fine and nothing had to be done.
I suspect they just packed a lot of grease into the motor and with time, some of it dissolves depending on the ambient temperature. I suspect there is enough grease in the motor that this doesn’t matter at all.
After I got it back, it has now been in storage for a couple of years (my saw doesn’t see much use
) and no oil has leaked out of it.
