Popular Post bradpotts Posted January 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I went in to woodcraft today to buy a Bosch miter saw because I broke the handle off my piece of junk harbor freight and came out with a kapex. I also bought the track saw and domino a couple months ago. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I suggest you contact your local FAA as soon as possible. Either that or a good marital counselor/attorney. Damn, that's a coin flip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 You got a long way to go to catch up with Shane. When the festool rep comes to your house, then you will have reached FesShane status. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephThomas Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 You might not be Shane yet, but as a wise "man" once said... "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will" Curious how you went from a $500 saw to a ~$1500 one in a matter of an hour or so? What sold you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Cancelleri Posted January 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 So what you're saying is, you walked into woodcraft like this, and walked out like this? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a Bosch in the back that they used for their classes. He said that he didn't really like it that much. He said when he is cutting 8/4 it has a tendency to jump up during the cut. I was also reading some reviews and on multiple reviews they said when they talked to Bosch the representative said the saw "was for construction not fine woodworking." That turned me off a lot. The only reason I was looking at the Bosch is because I have limited space in my shop and I wanted it to be back against the wall. After comparing the two, it seemed like they took up about the same amount of space because festool has the rails running forward instead of backwards. I was also thinking that if I bought the Bosch because I knew the festool is better I will eventually want it. I also have two big trim jobs coming up and the angle adjustments seemed a lot better on the festool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The Kapex is a great saw. I very much like mine. However, don't think you're gonna push that blade through a big cut like a hot knife through butter. On heavy cuts, take it slow. The saw lacks in the power department. While I've managed to cut through everything I've needed to including 3.5"x5" maple roubo legs, it didn't cut it with great authority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well technically the festool isn't for furniture either, it's for finish carpentry. It's a miter saw, after all. I hear you on the angle adjustments though, I could see how they would make that better. Hope you enjoy it.

bradpotts Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Took it to a job today. Just a hand rail nothing exciting but loved every minute of using it. Also put a domino in the miter. Went all green and it couldn't have been easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
