The Festool Kapex KS 120 Miter Saw Starter Set with Stand (579556) is a complete sliding compound miter saw system built for trim carpenters, finish carpenters, and cabinet installers who need accurate crosscuts and miters on-site without spending half the morning setting up material support. This is a miter saw combo kit designed for finish carpentry, crown molding, and trim installation, bundling the Kapex KS 120 REB saw with the mobile UG stand, matching left/right extension wings, and a dust extraction hose in one package — a Festool Value Set available in limited quantities while supplies last.

At the center of the set is the Kapex KS 120 REB, a 10-1/4 in. (260mm) sliding compound miter saw running on a 120VAC motor rated at 1,600 watts with a variable no-load speed range of 1,400 to 3,600 RPM. The miter range runs 60 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right, with bevel capability of 47 degrees in both directions — wide enough to handle compound crown molding cuts without flipping or re-clamping the workpiece mid-cut. Crown molding capacity is rated at 6-5/8 in. (168mm) for a diagonal cut at both 45/90 degrees and 90/90 degrees, which covers the vast majority of residential crown profiles run against the fence.

What separates this from a saw-only purchase is the stand and extension wing setup. The UG mobile stand and the matching KA-UG-KS 120 R/L/D extension set turn the Kapex into a self-supporting workstation — long stock gets real support on both sides instead of you eyeballing a level surface or propping up scrap. Because the stand folds down for transport, moving between rooms on a remodel or between jobs entirely doesn't mean tearing the whole setup apart and starting over. This is the same accuracy Festool builds into the Kapex line, just delivered with the material support that a standalone saw doesn't include.

Dust control is handled by the included 36mm x 1.4m suction hose, which connects the saw's 1-1/16 in. / 1-7/16 in. (27/36mm) dust port to a shop vacuum or dust extractor. Pulling dust at the source keeps the cut line visible and cuts down on airborne dust in enclosed rooms — a real factor when you're doing finish work indoors on an occupied job.

System compatibility extends through Festool's Kapex accessory ecosystem: crown stops, hold-down clamps, the AS-KS 120-R/L multifunctional stop, and the MFT/3 MINI Multifunction Table all work with this saw for anyone who wants to expand the setup further. Replacement and specialty blades — universal, wood fine-cut, and aluminum/plastic-rated — are all sized to the same 10-1/4 in. (260mm) arbor.

Buy this set if you're outfitting a finish carpentry or trim crew and want the saw and its support structure in one purchase instead of piecing it together over time. It's the right call for anyone doing crown molding, baseboard, casing, or general trim work who needs both precision and a stable platform for longer stock. If you already own a Kapex and just need the stand separately, or you're working purely with short pieces on a bench, the bundle's extra cost in the stand and wings may not pay off — but for a mobile trim setup, this is the fastest way to get a fully supported cutting station on-site.

Stop Buying the Stand Separately

The Festool Kapex KS 120 Miter Saw Starter Set with Stand hands you a fully supported cutting station in one box instead of a saw you'll be adding accessories to for months.

• Who it's for: Trim and finish carpenters who need a mobile, precise miter saw setup that's ready to support long crown and baseboard stock from the first cut.
• Why it stands out: You get the saw, the UG stand, the matching extension wings, and the dust hose together at one price, rather than sourcing each piece and hoping they're compatible.
• Worth knowing: This is a limited-quantity value set — once it sells out, you'd be buying the saw, stand, and wings as separate items, likely at a higher combined cost.

• Is the saw blade included? Yes, the Kapex KS 120 REB ships with a 10-1/4 in. HW 260x2.5x30 W60 universal saw blade already included.
• Does the stand fold down for transport? Yes, the UG mobile stand and extension wings are designed to fold down quickly for moving between jobs.
• What size dust hose comes with it? A 36mm x 1.4m suction hose is included, matching the saw's 27/36mm dust port.
• Is this bundle always available? No — it's a Festool value set offered in limited quantities while supplies last.
