Used Kapex recommendations

[Sky08046]

I have found a used Kapex at a local store. Is there anything in particular I should keep an eye out for? There is rust on the blade and some of the bolts and other small things like that but still looks to be in fairly good condition.

One of our members, "wow", has acquired a Kapex during the recon' sale and would like to part with it for now.

You might want to PM him, it has a warranty from Festool.

EDIT:
I mention the warranty because Festool dealers can't sell used tools so it likely would not have a warranty.

I wouldn't touch it if it shows signs of rust.  The onboard electronics might be affected by whatever conditions led to the rust, it's not worth the chance unless they are unloading it for a few hundred bucks.

Any chance that this saw is the one listed on Craigslist at the pawn shop in Manassas?  If so, I wouldn't buy that saw, not unless it were priced a lot less than where it is now.

That's a good call.

^ This, signs of corrosion would worry me and I'd walk away.

I saw that one, looked pretty rough.
