KSC 60 Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw: Cordless for Ultimate Precision and Power
The new KAPEX KSC 60 Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw produces unbeatably precise cross cuts in an enormous range of applications. With a variety of settings to choose from, the KSC 60 ensures smooth and perfect cuts, without wobble or deflection. Its dual-battery 36-volt system combined with the brushless EC-TEC motor provide virtually unlimited endurance for an entire day's work. Key features include:

Unbeatable Precision: With miter angles of up to 60º on each side and bevel angles of up to 47º, the KSC 60 produces precise results across a range of applications. Ideally suited for wood-processing tasks on the jobsite with capacity and runtime for trim work, cutting lumber or plywood. Its performance-matched blades highlight the accuracy of precise, clean cuts.
Impressive Endurance: Cordless and lightweight, the KSC 60 features a dual-battery system providing 36-volts for an impressively powerful tool. It provides the power of a corded tool with the maximum portability of a cordless tool for uncompromised performance throughout the day.
Compact, Light and Portable: Every detail is designed to produce precise cuts while maintaining a light and portable form factor. With ergonomically positioned handles and a practical transport locking device, the lightweight saw is compact for easy transportation. It features a forward-rail design for an even more compact footprint, allowing the saw to be placed right up against a wall for maximum front-side clearance.
Flexible Mobility: Offering even greater flexibility, the Kapex Underframe (UG) accessory provides a convenient and easy way to transport the saw. It features a folding design and rolling wheels for easy mobility from workshop to job site. Ergonomically designed to enhance comfort and reduce strain, the Kapex Underframe is the perfect height for supporting material on the same plane as other Festool products, such as the MFT/3 Multifunction Table.
