Can we get the KS120 with the shadow line please? It's due for an upgrade. I want to buy a saw, but these are not quite doing it for me yet. I'm also curious why the RUclipsrs with the KS120 take multiple passes to cut through a board. It seems to waste a lot of time compared to a non-sliding 12" saw with a Forrest blade on it.
Woodworkers take multiple passes because it gives a better cut. The blade could deflect with thick hardwood as it gives. It’s just good practice. 12” miter saw blades deflect a good deal and easily. People with festool also respect their tools some times more than people who don’t have what much invested. Just my two cents 🤷🙏
I got my KS120 a long, long time ago. It replaces a small Hitachi SCMS that did a lot of good work for me. When Metabo released a really small 18V portable SCMS I jumped at it and found it was an ideal companion (obviously the KSC60 wasn't on the market around a decade ago). Had the 60 been available back then I would have jumped at it as my primary choices were Festool centric. Recently I've added a 305mm Makita 40V with a massively strong custom stand for work round our rural property, with the KS120 becoming the dedicated workshop machine. Had an adequately powerful cordless full size KAPEX been available I would have given it serious consideration as the Makita is hernia material :(
Would love a ks120 but if it's not brushless motor upgrade i will not buy it , because it's such a old technology already the motor has to many issues and it's overdue for an upgrade
@@HeadBroski on the other hand while the KS60 looks pretty much the same like the new KSC60 (size, and overall features) it is still an much older product - so it doesn´t have a brushless motor for example.. maybe they will bring an update to the ks60 as well which will be available in the US as well ..

waiting also
I have the KS60 and I love it. I never thought it was possible to love a machine but here we are.
Thanks for the informative video. Actually, I need one of each but I'll probably start with the 120.

Is it true 60 only comes in metric at this time?
Are either set of wings interchangeable?
Any positive stops in bevel for 60?
Thanks
Ksc 60 is a sweet machine and love that it is lightweight.
Just waiting for the 8.0 amp/ hour battery.
What is the difference between KAPEX KSC 60 EB 5,0 I-UG-SET and 5,2 I-UG-SET?
Corded only. Festool have a price gouge policy and batteries are no exception.

thanks for the info. i enjoyed this. (calm and collective.. but they are all informative).🎉
Great info
I wish the KSC 60 had a corded version. The 120 is too large for what I do, and I don't need cordless.
just wonder why the corded version, the ks60 is not available in the US
@ same. After I posted that comment I found out the rest of the world has a corded KS60 except the US. It’s a shame.

@@Tigrecito10 my understanding is that AC motors are by nature brushed motors (unless induction motor). Only DC, aka battery, can be brushless.
@@Scadaboy hmm.. but my TS 60 K (corded!) tracksaw has a brushless motor (the old model did not!) ..
only took 21 seconds to switch to your outdated alternate camera angle. Stop being a doofus and just make a normal video.
Stop being inappropriate and move along
Time to give respect to this man in the arena. And your channel is called what again?
It affects nothing substantive. Move along.
