I like the Kapex, but Really!? Does everything have to be proprietary and difficult to work with non-Festool stuff? Maybe I am just missing something and someone here can help. I want to hook up my Kapex KS 120 EB to my shop dust collection system which has 8" spiral pipe reduced to 4" at the blast gates for short runs of hose to the actual tools. I cannot find any fittings/reducers that will fit the Kapex dust port which appears to have a 1 1/2"OD. I know Festool wants you to use their CT line of collectors, but I see no need to go buy another dust collection system when I have a 5hp collector in the shop.
I currently have a DW718 mounted on the counter with a dust shroud and the dust collection pulls from the bottom of a bin below the counter. I want to mount both saws to the counter with their own dust collection. Is the way I have the DW718 the way to go with the Kapex or is someone out there with a better solution.
The Kapex and the DW718 will be permanently mounted on the miter saw counter. I don't need either of these saws to be mobile, I have another DW718 and a Milwaukee 12" slider for mobile jobs.
Thoughts?
