I have had a Kapex for about a year now and have been happy with it.
Last week I made a mitered picture frame. None of the corners were closed at the outside; which I presume meant they were slightly less than 45 degrees. I mixed up some filler and the gaps disappeared so all is well, but it is annoying to screw up with a $1,300 saw.
Today I did the 4 cut test 3 times and got -.04*, .01* and -.02*. According to Rick's guide the target is .16*; so I presume my saw is essentially perfect, the variations are a bit of human error.
I cut some more miters and they they don't close either.
Could the saw be perfect at 90* but off at 45*?
What else could I be doing wrong?
