After some time with the new Festool Cordless KSC 60 miter saw, I made this video to share my thoughts. I have owned the corded Kapex for about 14 years, so I was super excited to try out this saw! I have been very impressed with the power and this is a super capable saw for the shop or when using mobile on the job site! This is a great addition to my work flow without a doubt!
Just let me know if you have any questions and which is your favorite, corded or cordless!

I have the 120 and sold my worn little cordless dewalt saw and bought this for mobile. At first I wasn’t a fan but now after time it’s a great saw and far more accurate than the dewalt. The 120 is still king.
Thank you. Helped me decide on the cordless version for my small mobile shop
Glad I could help
Just got mine last Friday, can't wait to use it Monday! And thank you for showing the table extends, i had no idea it did that.
Awesome enjoy, I have really enjoyed mine for sure! I spent some time trying to figure out what the slide knobs were at first couldn't figure out what they did! The slide outs were a nice surprise!
Thanks Ronnie this was super helpful!

Good stuff man ! Does the saw have a systainer ?
Great review, I have the new kapex 60 and been using for about 2 weeks now and it cuts prefect miters right of the box. Really like the stand and the ability to cut 16 feet materials on it.
I have had this saw for a month now. Awesome power and solidness on the compound angle cuts through thick material. The only issue I have is that I have it sitting against a wall on the stand, and the hose connector goes straight back, no angle option like the track saw. There is not enough clearance for the hose without a sharp bend in the hose that of course wants to push against the wall moving the blade forward in the up position, so kinda annoying fidgiting with the hose half the time. How did festool miss this. I guess they thought being mobile it will just plop out in the middle of a room most of the time.
Have you been able to find a good fence that will allow you to cut larger crown? I’d really like to go cordless but I’m trying to figure out what the maximum crown size I’ll be able to do. Thank you for taking the time to make this content, my festool collection grows because of you.
Hello, sorry for the delay in response, I found I did need to install a taller fence on the KSC60 to be able to do larger crown, I will do a video on that process as soon as I can. Thanks for watching and always let me know if you have any further questions!
Cut crown flat no fence necessary
Can the trimming attachments be attached to the ksc without the underframe like the old one. So say u had the saw on a mft table found u add the wing attachments?
Please compare this cordless 60 with the Milwaukee cordless 7 1/4 mitre saw
How do you find reaching round to use the bevel function ? I have the kapex so really like using the lever to bevel the saw and cut my skirting
It's the same for my corded Kapex so it feels natural for me. I have had my corded Kapex for around 12 years or so
What is the vertical baseboard capacity? 3/4 thick material.
Does the stand align with height if festool tables?
It's very close but not sure if exact
can you use the KSC 60 with an older festool corded vacuum ?
you can but you'll have to check if the extractor will accept the Bluetooth module, otherwise its manual on and off
How's the dust collection on these models? Better than others or about on par?
Dust collection is excellent and the dust bag catches a surprising amount when not even connected to dust collection
Have you cut any 4x4?
Tried cutting anything on the bevel with the saw bevelled to the right only cuts 20mm
Only thing putting me off this saw.Pity Festool are late to the party with the Kapex 120 in a cordless version.
How is it to use both right and left handed?
I am left handed and use it with both hands regularly without any issues
@@fultonfinewoodworksthank you! I was thinking that because the trigger had the button on the left side only that it might be awkward to use left handed I’ve used the old hitachis for so long I can’t use anything other than a d handle saw.
Well I bought one with the stand First off the stand is worth the money, it’s a total game changer for my mobile work setup. Secondly the safety button on the trigger is really awkward for me at least. Festool could have done that better. Luckily it’s easily removed. 😉
The wings are only available in metric for the KSC 60 and it pisses me off like yiou would not believe.
Would you buy again?
I love it, the only modifications I recommend is a 0 clearance plate and attach a higher back fence for taller moldings. I plan on doing a video soon showing that. I have made and tried two versions already.
We now have shadow line!! Hah ha Copy of Dewalt with a vertical damn handle
I for sure prefer the shadow line to the laser when working outside - the laser will remain on the larger corded Kapex
