Description

Key Features

Dialed-In Accuracy

The twin-column guide with two bearings keeps the blade tracking true through the cut, so you get clean, repeatable results instead of fighting wobble or deflection.

Cordless Jobsite Power

This Festool miter saw runs on a dual 18V battery setup with a brushless EC-TEC motor, giving you the mobility to work where dragging cords and generators slows everything down.

Ready-To-Work Kit

You are not just getting the saw. This limited edition kit includes two 8.0Ah batteries, two rapid chargers, the underframe, trimming stops, blade, clamp, and storage, which matters if you need a mobile cutting station right away.

Overview

The Festool LIMITED EDITION Kapex KSC 60 EB Cordless Dual-18V Miter Saw 8.0 Kit + UG Stand w/ Extensions is a cordless sliding compound miter saw package built for trim crews, installers, remodelers, and anyone who needs precise crosscuts without being tied to an outlet. This is a miter saw designed for mobile crosscutting, trim work, and assembly applications. Model 579356 packages the KSC 60 EB saw with the UG underframe system, support extensions, batteries, chargers, and the key accessories needed to get to work fast.

What makes this saw matter on the job is the mix of portability and cut accuracy. Festool gives the KSC 60 mitre angles up to 60 degrees on each side and bevel angles up to 47 degrees on each side, so it covers a wide range of trim, casing, baseboard, framing stock, and general finish carpentry cuts without a lot of workarounds. It is rated for cutting boards and panels up to 12 inches by 2-3/8 inches, and it can trim strips, profiles, and square timber up to 2-3/8 inches thick. That is a useful capacity for punch work, site-built trim, flooring transitions, and interior installation tasks where dragging a full-size shop saw is overkill.

The big story here is precision. Festool uses a twin-column guide with two bearings so the blade stays guided smoothly through the cut. That matters because a cordless miter saw only earns its keep if it cuts like a serious shop tool, not like a compromise. The guide system is there to reduce wobble and blade deflection, which helps when you are fitting finished material where a sloppy cut turns into extra sanding, recutting, or wasted stock.

Festool also built this saw around real-world mobility. The brushless EC-TEC motor and dual battery system are there to deliver full cutting power without the cord, while the compact design, convenient handles, and relatively jobsite-friendly footprint make it easier to move room to room or load in and out every day. The included UG stand and right/left trimming attachments turn the saw into a proper mobile cutting station, not just a saw sitting on sawhorses. The stand folds for transport, and the extensions add better support for longer material, with a telescopic slide-out scale for workpieces up to 2.40 m.

There are a lot of smart details here that save time once the saw is in use. Speed preselection lets you better match blade speed to the material. The LED spotlight helps put the cut line where you can actually see it. The chip collection bag helps keep the mess down even when you are not hooked to a dust extractor. The spindle stop speeds up blade changes. Festool also includes an angle transfer device and bevel function to simplify interior and exterior angle work, which is exactly the kind of feature a trim carpenter notices after a long day of coping with odd corners and out-of-square walls.

As a system, this kit is built around Festool’s 18V battery platform. It includes two BP 18 Li 8.0 ASI battery packs and two SCA 16 rapid chargers, so the saw is ready to run out of the box. You also get the HW universal saw blade W 36, screw clamp, LED spotlight, elevation feet, chip collection bag, hex key, trimming stop set, underframe, and a SYS3 M 187 Systainer. For buyers comparing bare tools to complete kits, that matters because this package solves power, transport, work support, and storage in one shot.

If you are a finish carpenter, cabinet installer, flooring installer, remodeler, or punch-list contractor who needs accurate cuts in different rooms and on different sites, this setup makes a lot of sense. If your work is mostly rough framing in one fixed area, a larger corded saw may still be the simpler choice. But if your day involves moving, setting up fast, making clean cuts, and packing back out, the Festool LIMITED EDITION Kapex KSC 60 EB Cordless Dual-18V Miter Saw 8.0 Kit + UG Stand w/ Extensions is aimed squarely at that kind of work.

Make Clean Cuts Where the Work Is

This setup is built for crews who do not stay in one spot. The saw, underframe, and support wings give you a real cutting station on site without needing a dedicated shop corner.

• Ideal for mobile use in assembly applications
• Compact cordless platform helps cut where power access is limited
• UG stand folds for transport between rooms, trucks, and sites

Built For Repeatable Trim Accuracy

When you are fitting finish material, the saw has to hold its line. The KSC 60 is built around a twin-column guide system that helps keep cuts straight and consistent across miters, bevels, and repeated trim work.

• Twin-column guide with two bearings helps reduce wobble and deflection
• Mitre angles up to 60 degrees on each side
• Bevel angles up to 47 degrees on each side for interior and exterior angle work

Keep Dust and Setup Hassle Under Control

Not every cut happens next to a dust extractor. The included chip collection bag and the cordless platform make this saw easier to use for quick cuts, exterior punch work, and install days where you need a cleaner setup.

• Chip collection bag supports lower-dust work even without a mobile dust extractor
• LED spotlight improves cut-line visibility
• Spindle stop helps speed blade changes when material changes

A Full Mobile Cutting Station, Not Just a Saw

This limited edition package saves you from piecing the system together later. You get the saw, the power source, storage, and the support gear that actually make a cordless miter saw productive on site.

• Includes two 8.0Ah batteries and two SCA 16 rapid chargers
