Yeah it's like FOG(parents) are making sure we fog members (kids) don't go and hurt our selfs with our non understanding of what is dangerous and what is safe! [eek]

We - the "Parents" - absolutely don't want any of our "Kids" to hurt themselves in any way. Unfortunately accidents do happen. All we can do is do our best to make sure that one of the "Kids" didn't get the idea that lead to the accident here.
If that isn't understandable or tolerable, then "Kids" can go to their room and stay there.

Quick Blade change
A switch to turn the indent on/off so if you want to slightly move your angle it doesnt try to drop into place and a micro adjuster would be nice.
An improved depth stop
The guard needs to be able to be moved up either by a pull leaver OR have it so you can get your thumb to lift the guard up.
IF they did just that it would make the Kapex alot better!

How about a trade in program. 
I would like to get rid of my Bosch and move to a Kapex.

I'm getting a mental image of big used mitre saw lots on the side of the main road ... salesmen in safari suits, etc ...
Father: c'mon son - let's get you your first mitre saw ...
Son: but daddy, why can't I have a KAPEX like you?
Father: you've got to learn to appreciate a KAPEX son ... now that blue one over there looks ok ...

1. Some sort of area LED light... XPS type or whatever. Keep the lasers however, they are quite valuable. Also keep the on/off laser switch.
2. Some type of one handed top handle. It's not easy to try to carry the saw through a door when you have to open it and close it and you have to have Both Hands on the Saw!!
3. A slightly longer trigger would be helpful. Many times during a cut my hand just slides off the trigger enough to have to have the saw stop momentarily.
4. An option for an extended dust shroud similar to bristles or curtains that could easily be snapped on and off if doing steep compound bevel cuts that could interfere with it.
....
Power if fine with me...a few more RPS couldn't hurt though?
Keep the rail forward design.
Keep the weight down.
Maybe and option for hanging the fences off of the saw when they are removed?
Make the fences actually lock in square and not wiggle...at all.
Just bought my Second Kapex. [eek] First one is in for service. [unsure] Its much much smoother more refined and compact than my 10" dewalt slider with xps.
