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.
