Stress-free results...

... with smart bevel and dual-line laser.
The smart bevel allows the precise transfer of interior and exteior angles to the KAPEX - no measurements, calculations or errors.
Even complex angles are transfered accurately because the smart bevel calculates the bisecting angle automatically.
It packs away neatly in a designated storage spot.

The benefit to you:
Simple, precise cutting angle adjustment
No calculations required and no tranfer errors
Saves valuable time



It's as simple as that:
Place the smart bevel on the interior or exterior angle and secure.


Then place the smart bevel against the fence on the KAPEX and align the saw blade with the smart bevel using the dual-line laser.


Precise results...

... fine bevel angle adjustment and secure mitre angle positioning.
The KAPEX cuts bevels up to 47° on either side and mitres 50° to the left and 60° to the right.
The convenient bevel lock, easy to read scales and bevel fine adjustment feature make it easy to cut precise bevel angles.
Cutting compound mitres is just as easy.

The benefits to you:
Precision adjustment of bevel and mitre angles
Accurate cutting results
Saves times and work more conveniently



It's as simple as that:
Set the bevel angle quickly and accurately using the angle preselection knob and quick release bevel lock.


Use the bevel fine adjustment knob to adjust the saw blade angle accurately to the millimetre, from the front of the machine - with one hand.


Mitre angles are quick and easy to adjust to any angle between 50° (left) and 60° (right).



Extensive application possibilities...

.... with the special cutting position, for materials up to 120mm in height.
The innovative special cutting position maximises the cutting capacity of the 10" saw blade, enabling you to cut 120mm high skirting boards positioned vertically against the fence and crown moulding and cornices at their "finished angle".

The benefits to you:
Large cutting capacity, up to 120mm
Wide range of applications
Fewer adjustment errors, minimal re-work



It's as simple as that:
Simply push down the lever to engage the lock. Press the button to release.


Attach the crown moulding stop to cut crown mouldings in their "finished angle" position. Cut profiles with a maximum width of 168mm without the workpiece wobbling or slipping.



Sophisticated overall concept

Intelligent details for greater working comfort.
Using its ingenious, detailed solutions on a daily basis demonstrates how sophisticated and practical the machine concepts is.
Take a look for yourself:


MMC Electronic
Variable speed preselection, smooth start-up, constant speed, overload protection and safety brake for extra safety and comfort.


Trenching depth adjustment
When trenching and grooving, simple engage the trenching depth adjustment and set the cutting depth with a single turn.


Base height = SYSTAINER
The KAPEX base is the same heights as the SYSTAINER SYS 1, which can be used to support long workpieces.


Flexible fences
The extra-high sliding fences are secured by a quick-release clamp. You can also detach them or add your own positioning supports.



Faster...

... due to the FastFix saw blade changing system.
A convenient saw blade changing system enables you to quickly adapt the saw blade to the working material more often, saving time and money! A wider range of saw blades suitable to a variety of materials and applications is available.

The benefits to you:
Easier, quicker and safer saw blade changing
Adaptation to the working material
Saves you time and money


It's as simple as that:
Simple turn the FastFix knob to activate the spindle stop this also prevents the machine from accidental start-up.


The flange is easy to loosen using an Allen key.


Replace the saw blade with a blade more suitable for the current task and carry on working.



More mobile ...

... due to the lightweight, compact design.
The KAPEX is designed for transport between locations. The transport safety device, clamp, cable holders and ergonomic hand grips make the machine easy to transport.  The benefits of the compact design and twin-colume guide are immediately apparent, nothing protrudes from the rear of the machine.
