Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 They may be pricey, but from what I have heard, there is nothing like them. I know a guy that uses them in his shop. He always said it’s like how most people think Festool is so expensive then you use and it’s no comparison just on a bigger more expensive tool scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody on one of my FB forums posted his new one and that's where I first saw them. Sure would like to see one in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Looks like heavy duty pro equipment, something that gets used all day everyday. Having a miter saw with a 3 or 4 HP motor in a hobbyist shop is just being able to say you have one. 🤪 1 1 Quote “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?” John Wooden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely see it for a high production shop. 4 minutes ago, Bushwacked said: Sounds like Kev needs to upgrade I think the Kapex is working just fine.. 😉 Besides, I would have to completely rethink my miter station.. Hmm.. There's be a bunch of videos in that... 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The cabinet shop I worked at had an omga miter saw, thing was an absolute beast! 3 phase set on a dedicated cabinet with a sweet fence. We never used it for cutting a miter and was primarily used for cutting face frame and door parts. Had a 12" blade with around a 5 inch cut capacity. Was deadly square and we just put a clamp on the switch to leave it running while using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 If that was the only miter saw on the market, I would have to resort to one of these. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-14-5-in-Deluxe-Clamping-Miter-Box-with-14-in-Saw-20-600D/100034395?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-NA-Multi-NA-SMART-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Hand_Tools&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-NA-Multi-NA-SMART-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Hand_Tools-71700000086053656-58700007291967538-92700072581141420&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn9CgBhDjARIsAD15h0BSDr9RMsiQmmdF2kndQ7bcE_2S35Bc7gP4dKPAXusQECghSm6X3K4aAq80EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 13 hours ago, Kev said: That is a poor representation of what those saws can do. With decent blade in them they cut like a hot knife through butter, the head of the saw is so heavy that it just drops right through. With the angle that the blade enters the cut its pushing the wood down which holds it for you. They are an absolute treat to use. Only thing that cuts faster and cleaner are upcut saws.
