16 Kapex KS120 Miter Saw
Using the Bed Extensions and Crown Stops
The optional bed extensions provide a
useful platform for using additional
workpiece control accessories as well as
extending the size of the bed of the Kapex
saw. The optional bed extension accessory
includes the crown stop, as shown to the
upper right.
The extension can be mounted to the left
side or right side of the saw’s bed, or if two
are used, to both sides simultaneously.
The T-channel can also be used to secure
additional clamping elements such as the
Festool Quick Clamp or Screw Clamp shown
to the right. These clamps can be used for
clamping larger workpieces, or used in
conjunction with the Kapex hold down
clamp for multiple clamping needs, such as
the dado example shown on page 19.
Installation
To install the bed extension, place the edge into the V-
channel of the Kapex bed, position the extension forward or
back as needed, and then tighten the clamping knob (see
image to the right).
Setting up the Crown Stop
The crown stop is used for cutting crown moulding and
holds the moulding at the desired angle against the fence of
the saw so that it can be cut using a standard miter cut
(refer to the Crown Moulding
discussion on page 22). The
stop slides forward or back depending on the size of the
moulding, and clamps in place to serve as a secondary
fence.
To set up the crown stop, place the moulding against the
fence and bed of the saw, as shown in the lower left image,
slide the crown stop up against the moulding, and tighten
the clamping knob. Use the hold down clamp to secure the
moulding while cutting, as shown in the lower right image.
