I started on an octagon project, and set the Kapex bevel by eye at 22.5 degrees. The first take on a scrap was exactly 22.5*:

This kind of precision is harder to achieve on the bevel scale than on the miter, because of the tilted head. Many state that by its nature a miter saw is not a precision machine. I disagree to that statement as a Kapex user.
After the session, I vacuum cleaned the motor as well, something I didn't do before. (Not too long ago at a local dealership, I saw a Kapex waiting to be shipped to Festool for repairs. The store associate told me the Kapex wouldn't start, and pointed to the dust cake on the motor grill. The cord also had signs of abuse due to yanking. The lack of care suggested it to be a job site saw, perhaps used by more than one person.)
