What is the best miter saw for woodworking? I purchased both the Makita and the Festool Kapex. Which one would you choose? Ultimately, I decided to keep the Kapex and return the Makita. I thought the Kapex would have better dust collection overall, but I was surprised that the Makita had better dust collection in the non-sliding position.

The Festool is twice the price of Mikita but not twice as good, I'll take the makita any day.

@Tripring2000 Год назад

I’d keep the Makita. They make solid dependable tools. I don’t like the handle configuration on the Festool saws.

@techguy38 Год назад

The handle is designed that way to reduce flex caused be the leverage you have from your arm. It does reduce flexing the saw and you don’t have to be mindful of it as you do with the traditional miter saws

@eriklarsson3188 Год назад

@German Mejia The handle is an ergonomic fail.

@starseeddeluxe Месяц назад

Do you really have to turn the handle 10 times to do a bevel on the Makita? That seems really extreme and unnecessary?

@nigelboucher2014 Год назад

I know Festool makes great tools but to me there’s to much plastic. Which to the eye makes them look cheap. I’ve got a 25 year old Makita drop saw that is still going great to this day and just recently purchased the 10” sliding saw and that gets a little kiss from me every day. It’s brilliant.

@rocketmunkey1 Год назад

What do you mean plastic everywhere ? You do realise those gray white areas which make up the majority of the saw, are anodised cast magnesium alloy not plastic don't you ? Its litterally just the top cover and the buttons and levers, which are fibreglass reinforced plastic, which is the same on most saw

@@rocketmunkey1 Take it easy funkeymunkey! You’re gonna stroke out dude! He did not say there was plastic everywhere, but your point is taken. I’m a big Makita fan, but I think the Festool is just a well thought out and polished design, that is hard to beat. One just has to ‘buy once , cry once,’ with regards to getting a Festool. I have always thought the Festool sounds a little underpowered, and the motor has a funny sound, but that is of course, subjective. Now that makita has killed off the Makita/Dolmar chainsaws, as well as the rest of their gas powered stuff, I’m not such a fan currently. I would probably buy the Festool. As far as Dust collection goes, they all suck (no pun) in one way or another. face it, drop saws gonna throw the dust! Peace!

@DKWalser Год назад

You were massively unfair in your judgement of Makita's fence. The size of the gap between the left and right fences is adjustable. It came from the factory in the setting that gives your work the most support when cutting at 90 degrees. If you want to make a cut at 45 degrees, simply adjust the gap between the fences. This gives the user the ability to get the most support from the fences no matter what angle is being cut. You might not appreciate the flexibility to set the gap to meet your needs for a particular cut. That's fine. Just slightly widen the gap and you're good to go. But, other users, take advantage of that flexibility. Perhaps they're cutting thin materials that benefit from as much support from the fence as possible. The point is, this is a feature, not a flaw. This was an example of intelligent design. You made it seem like an example of poor quality on the part of Makita.

@kevinr1704 Год назад

How do you make that adjustment? I'm not familiar with that saw and he said that his fences sit on pins. I wouldn't mind to have the Makita and if there's a way to adjust it, it would be nice to know how to. Thanks in advance.

As a Carpentry and Joinery lecturer I get to see how these saws stand up to apprentice use and abuse. We have the Makita, Dewalt and Festool saws in the workshop, that are in constant use. The Dewalts are bombproof and make great site saws, downsides are the lack of soft start and the sticky blade guard roller when cutting compound mitres, which rules it out for finishing work. The Makita is a good all-round saw, but does not stand up to the constant abuse from apprentices and requires constant part replacement. The Festool is the saw we use for all our finish/joinery work, its well built and accurate with little to fault.

I'd go with Makita. Superior capacity and dust collection are big deals in my book. Plus I've used a festool and find the handle awkward and uncomfortable.

@bmak5405 Год назад

It's important to keep in mind that the Festool product will cost two to two and a half times the cost of the Makita. Also, the reason the Makita stands out farther is that it has a much wider cutting capacity. Not sure if Festool even makes a 12" sliding miter saw, but if they do, it too will stand out farther. Personally, I have the Makita and am very pleased with the performance of the saw.

@Smokeyr67 Год назад

Festool’s biggest mitre saw is the 10 inch, and it’s just a squidge under double the price of the 12 Makita, $2250 Aud for the Festool, $1200 for the Makita.

@ThekiBoran Год назад

I had the kapex 10" and sold it. I now have the Makita 12". Fit and finish of the makita is equal to the festool and in some ways better. Where the kapex shines is the bevel adjustment knob and the bevel scale is super easy to read. Where the kapex blows is the handle. I like the kapex handle right over/in line with the blade but the safety button is annoying. Carpal tunnel anyone? Also, it's a 10" vs 12" and also Festool USA service blows.

@morrist938 Год назад

I hesitated before buying my Kapex. I can tell you that most of the time a 12” saw is more of a hazard than a help. I know the price is a killer but I saved up for a while after trying one at a Woodcraft store. I found that the festool grip was more ergonomic and less strain on the entire arm and shoulder. Also the repeated accuracy without have to dial it in or find a sweet spot is a huge benefit, time saver and money saver. I only wished I learned that lesson before I shattered my thumb because I would not take the time to evaluate the tool instead of finding reasons to not like it. It only takes once for that added deflection or one bad “dial” and it leaves years of pain. Eventually we all learn that you can’t put a price on safety when the justification of money makes you pay dearly in pain and injuries. Trust me when I tell you that I check and double check and all it took was for the stars to align and I now have a permanent reminder that the extra money was worth it weight in gold. Besides when I have taught people that have never used a miter saw, the Festool came more naturally because everything is a straight line vs the age old paw grip. So in a nutshell, when you learn to unlearn what you have been taught and told to learn what can be we all go a lot further.

@Emaildbk Год назад

Did you hurt your thumb on the kapex or another saw?

@731Woodworks Год назад

Just to clear things up, I purchased both of these miter saws. I purchased the Makita first and tried it for a few weeks. After going to Woodcraft and seeing the Festool in-person, I decided to return the Makita and purchase the Festool. A good friend of mine knew I was retuning the Makita and buying the Festool, so he decided out of the goodness of his heart to bless me with half of the money for the Festool. So I paid for half and he paid for half. I told all of this in the members-only video that was released previous to this video, but it got left out of the edit on this one, and I missed it when reviewing the footage for this release.

@rbrown2925 Год назад

I would have liked to see a few comments on the quality of the base and fence, regarding flatness and squareness. I have a 12” dewalt and the upper sections of the fence don’t align with the lower ones and there’s no adjustability-or cut quality. I’ll never buy a 12” miter saw again, regardless of who makes it. They can’t possibly be super accurate between rail and blade flex, but okay for rough carpentry.

@kirklund962 Год назад

2 big drawbacks I have against the kapex is the wide opening of the fence and the pistol grip handle, and if I remember right the safety trigger was awkward to use but they may have changed that, it was a long time ago I used one. Most of the festool tools I don't care for the feel of them. I always ran DeWalt but am thinking of going with a Makita this time.

@scottmacgarvey6733 Год назад

My 25+ year old dewalt 12” compound miter saw finally died about a year ago. I bit the bullet and bought the Kapex after watching numerous RU-vid videos. Long story short, I took it back 2 weeks later and bought the Makita 12” sliding compound miter saw. I’m perfectly happy and impressed with this saw. There ARE some minor advantages to the Kapex, but NOT worth the money. The Makita dust collection is excellent, the cut is precise and the slide works extremely well. The laser is accurate, but I do wish it had the double laser like the Kapex. It IS a large machine. Had to rework my miter station, but worth it. I appreciate your tool reviews, but disagree with you on this one.

Have you looked into the milwaukee. I have the 12 inch and have loved it. Has a dial in the front for micro adjustments on setting the miter angle. It doesn't have a laser but 2 LEDs on both sides of the blade and casts a shadow line on where the blade will hit.

@mkbcoolman Год назад

Excellent video! I love your attention to detail. I looked at both the Festool and the Makita when I was looking to upgrade my Ridgid 12" compound slider. It was a beast that was perfectly suited for a construction site, but I had a hell of a time getting it tuned in to my satisfaction. I ended up going with the Bosch 12" with the knuckle arm after seeing both Drew Fisher and Jon Peters use the same saw. If it's good enough for those guys, it's good enough for me! I love the knuckle vs. rails...it saves so much space against my wall! It took a little tuning but nothing unexpected. Plenty of tutorials here on YT to show you how it's done. Dust collection is horrendous, but I copied Drew Fisher's video and built a small dust collection housing right behind the blade that collects 95+% (Drew calculated 96%) of all the dust when the blade isn't extended. I've NEVER seen a better solution for dust collection at a miter station. Even when my saw was fully shrouded with a 4" hose to my dust collector I didn't get anything near the efficiency. I don't know any way to get decent dust collection on a sliding miter at full extension, so maybe this solution is as good as it gets? I use my miter station pretty much daily, and I only find myself having to clean up a minor amount of dust about once a week. That's good enough for me!.

I am a cabinet maker here in the UK, I have had a dewalt mitre saw,, a reliable workhorse of a mitre saw, we did use the makita model to which you have reviewed, a beautiful saw to use in the workshop but I found that often while cutting at full reach the saw blade would along its rails cup alittle, the saw blade would enter and leave perfectly however as the blade travelled it would approximately run out by a millimetre. I opted to upgrade to the kapex, by no means is the kapex perfect, there is a surprisingly large amount of plastic, it does create a disappointing amount of saw dust even with the large dust shroud, is the saw overpriced, yes I believe so, however, I have never used a saw as sweet to use and as accurate as the kapex, cut after cut after cut, the kapex just keeps delivering perfect cuts, is it the best mitre saw in the world, I would say without hesitation YES, it maybe over priced, it may create more saw dust than what is claimed it catches but if you have deep pockets and want the best, the kapex is the only saw that will deliver an outstanding cut over and over again, thank you for the very informative and video.

Makita in my opinion is probably the best brand tool on the market but I can't justify the price for my hobby purposes, from what I've seen and read from people who use the Festool saw, the major complaint was the angle of the handle being less comfortable than how other handles are oriented.

Good comment Randy. I concur, and mentioned it in one of my comments. A lot of great tech and thinking went into the Fsetool, but it always sounds/ seems underpowered to me as well.

@MatSmithLondon Месяц назад

I've always thought power is less important... if you are driving a blade through a thick slab of hardwood, you are going to go slowly... it will still cut - just takes longer. Besides, if you want a quick cut, then you're onsite not in the workshop. And you'd use a smaller Dewalt if you want to cut quickly and in anger... I certainly use a cheap dewalt for majority of structural timber where I don't care about accuracy of cut

@TheDesertRat31 Год назад

How did/does your makita cut? That model has had negative reviews regarding a possible issue with the alignment of the slide rails. Some people get "scooped" cuts in the middle portion of a long crosscut using the full range of the slide capacity. Richard at finish carpentry TV recently got the new 40v cordless version and I haven't heard him complain. He's a busy snd highly skilled trim carpenter so if there were a problem, he would find it. I love the design and the space it saves since I like mine on a bench. I have a dewaltv12" slider and that thing takes up a huge amount of space, as you probably well know. Plus I have tons of other makita tools and they are all top notch. Their new miter saw looks like a game changer, but the cut problem has caused some (many?) to go back to another brand. That gives me pause.

I have Makita LS1019L 10" Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser, it is heavy and I do have a bad back. To be honest I have two of them if you believe . They are a great saw, but, the but is the abhor lock is left handed. I destroyed a nut turning it like highhanded thread . everything else on the saw is right handed! Everything you saw on the 12 inch is the same except the handle turned 180 to the right and not ambidextrous, because the trigger button is on the left of the grip. This saw cuts like butter and if you move up to a 80 tooth blade, well I don't have to tell you. The miter is like a cnc machine and flawless for a home worker, the complaint is that they wear out, just buy a new miter plate and keep it moving. The saw is heavy, real heavy, that is the main draw backs, happy to have it and Festool is beyond me and outside of my budget.

@user-bg7tf4rs1b 4 месяца назад

I have the 10 inch version of the Makita and even with extreme pressure it deflects less than what the Festool looked to in your video...I believe that 12 inch saws in general will deflect more when slid out to full capacity. I would say on my 10 inch Makita, blade deflection is never going to be an issue. The Festool looked to be the same as I doubt you would put that much pressure on a normal cut. Also, you are correct, you have to remove the high fences to make bevel cuts and extreme angle miter cuts on the Makita. Another thing I noticed and maybe different on the 10 vs 12 but I only need to turn my bevel lock 2--3 times before I can bevel the saw...a lot less than you were experiencing on the 12 inch. For 1/2 the price...I'll take the 10 inch Makita all day. .

@keithtimelessacres Год назад

Makita is the way to go for me. There isn't enough to the festool for the major price difference.I have a Makita miter saw right now in use that is over 30 years old and I've replaced only brushes in it one time and it is use almost everyday.It has been on no telling how many job sites and the last 10 years it has been in my cabinet shop. So with that and their other saws I've owned Festool has a lot to prove before I would switch from Makita.

@carbb5760 Год назад

On and off job sites as a pro carpenter and I’ve been running the kapex for the past 3 years. I will say the saw is good and I like it but it’s nothing special until you get the integrated stand. Imo that is what sets it apart from other tools on the market, it’s light, super fast to setup and brings huge functionality and there is basically nothing else on the market that compares. You can get reliable repeatability way faster and your setup and tear down time is greatly reduced

@keithtimelessacres Год назад

@cjsawinski 8 месяцев назад

I really wish the Makita tall fence supports slid like the dewalt saw. Then you could still use them and slide them to not hit the blade. I do A LOT of crown work so being able to cut nested is my main sticking point. For that I use the dewalt 12” because I can adjust the vertical fence so much. I’m also hesitant for these forward slide arm style saws, it just looks like it would be a nightmare with certain bevel cuts (the tubing hitting your work piece or getting in the way on some bevel or compound cuts).

Thanks for the video comparisons. I’ve been considering a kapex and probably will buy one when they are cordless. I had the makita 10” and got rid of it. It was a nice saw but there were a couple of things not to like. The laser is just ok . The beveling knob is awful and the aluminum detent plate is cheap. I have gotten rid of the makita 10” and moved on to the 40v 8 1/2”. Although the capacity is smaller I find it to be a solid and accurate saw with improvements over the 10 and 12”. I would use the dewalt dw 780 if space wasn’t an issue for me.

An alternative to these good products is the Hercules sliding miter saw from … yes, Harbor Freight. I was skeptical when a friend bought one but the more I looked at it the more I was impressed. I finally got one to replace my 30 yr old Craftsman relic. As with my friend’s unit, mine was spot on square and true right out of the box! It comes with a decent 12” carbide-tipped blade and was just over $300 on-sale. I love the shadow line cut indicator vs. the laser line. It’s easy to adjust miter or bevel and the stops are positive and correct. The fence is decent and also easily adjustable. I also got the companion mobile folding table, which is also solid and makes the whole unit mobile and easily stowed. I was almost ready to buy the Milwaukee cordless unit when this one got my attention. Hey, it might not last 30 yrs. or have the panache compared to the other brand names, but I would advise giving it a serious look. Surprised me.

@starseeddeluxe Месяц назад

Miter saw. Not chop saw. A chop saw is what you use for metal, with a 14" abrasive wheel. They do an awful job too. Chop saws are useless for precision metal working. I only mention this because I live in WA state, and I never heard the term "chop saw" in reference to a miter saw, until some years ago, maybe 10 years ago, suddenly it became part of the woodworking lexicon, and I don't understand why. I remember very clearly that a "chop saw" was the specific name for metal cutting saws, and miter saws were for wood.

I am a Bosch fan but I LOVE Makita. I'm jealous that you actually have that. I will probably end up with the Delta or Ridged miter saw solely due to price unless a miracle happens LOL! It takes a while to be able to upgrade and it's scary to commit to a big purchase. I just recently, on faith, bought a pro grade airless paint sprayer... Without a job to justify it 😬 so who knows if it was a good idea but it took a bit of money out of my hands. I currently have a 10" Ryobi miter saw which is ok but it's meant for small job, general carpentry and not really made for woodworking. It also takes up A LOT of room because of the beams in the back which I HATE! It seemed like a good idea at the time but I have a bunch of complaints. Some times it would be great to hop in a Delorean and go back and change things LOL! C'est la vie 🤷🏼‍♂️

Paired with a freud blade and DeWalt battery adapter, I couldn't be happier. Kind of weird that you had originally disliked the Makita dust collection but with all those superior Festool features I would definitely have made the same move as you. As far as the Makita fence hitting at 60° I would say 2 minutes with a grinder and flapdisk would no doubt solve that problem. I've modified many tools and that's an easy one.

@@woodlifenwa5983 That's my exact thoughts as well.

I'd say Makitas AWS and Festool both automatically turning on and off with the tools is a great system. I just haven't dropped the $2-2,500 to achieve that yet. My Bosch cordless has the best dust bag I've seen and it catches a lot more than I expected it to. Depending on where I'm working, I just throw down a tarp under my saw stand to catch stray dust and then sweep and fold it up and shake it out at a safe location. I'm fortunate not to have to prioritize dust control on 99% of my job sites.
