New Kapex KS60

[flagre]

Actually I found maybe what I am looking for in this video


At 3:35 he cuts 73 mm. Given a 45 tilt on that gives a bit over 51 mm. Also Dave Stanton mentions "very close to 50 mm" in his video, so we are cutting it close...would anyone care to confirm this by an actual 45 degree cut on a material that is say 49 mm thick? Maybe the 2x4 can be cut at 45 standing without using the slider mechanism. Would be nice if someone could test this.

Would anyone be able to test this?  If so that would be very helpful.

Hi,

If you are on YT, ask Mike in the comment section of his video - He's on vacation until the 8th, but I'm pretty sure he'll answer your question once he's back.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Subcontractor carpenter here.
Looks a good practical size for sitework.
The big saws are too bloody numb to be karting about up several flights of stairs and back everyday. Lot of blokes have a massive scms and it hardly comes out the van after a month or so.
I've used a little Makita for the last twelve or so years, great little thing that only cuts upto about 130mm. Small enough to carry with ease and fits into my toolsafe with all the other stuff I have in there. Plus it cuts any studs I need to make and also most of my work is in commercial properties so the

I'm sure there's a market for this saw as personally I wouldn't want something as big and numb as a Kapex 120 unless I had a workshop.

You would hate this thing then, this is what I have.https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/corded/6955-20 65 lbs of pure misery.  I use it in my shop but I would love to have a nice small option for bringing with me.  I tend to do outdoor and siding for others a lot and a little framing for them here and there.  Any chance we would ever see the hk 60 in the states?

NAINA is probably the fate of this for 110v.  I can't see them bringing this here to compete with the Kapex.

The other issue is that the floor covering industry is not where the highest skilled workers land and hence the pay is pretty crappy.  This doesn't lend itself to guys buying $$$$ saws.  The trim guys aren't going to buy a small saw because small blades are............well let's just say they aren't going to buy it either. So, I don't really see a big market for this here.

I think it would do well, for the DIY that wants a good saw to redo all the trim in their house. Makita has a new small saw coming out that looks pretty slick and supposed to have good dust extraction.

Sorry to ask a question in a slightly older thread.
Looking at the video higher up where the 0 degree cut occurs @73mm, I'm making the assumption that it will handle a 69mmx69mm cut too.

How is the 73mm being achieved though? Is it by default because it is right at the fence?
