Yep a sub fence is great. Cannot always be used, but use when I can on all saws. The blade coming to a complete stop, man I got work to do... Other issues, no detente overide( end of the world, no but on a saw that costs 3 times others that have it?) Non flat bed come on maybe most of the time it doesn’t matter but really. Leaky arbor ? Come on pick better grease use better seals whatever. The blade guard catches up on compound bevel cuts and is so close to the blade which is elegant not practical. The safety switch is too far from the trigger, just look how much closer they are on the ks60. And the motor thingy.
That being said it’s accurate, quiet, great bevel scale, light, good capacity, and excellent dust collection. But for 2 to 3 times the cost of the competition these issues should be addressed and fixed. Just saying. The makita ls1019l has plenty of faults but it’s $500. Often comes with a free stand. The ridgid 10” is $350. The dewalt is always on sale. I hate the race to the bottom that’s why the kapex’s short Comings bother me.
