Festool 579356 8-1/2″ Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw KAPEX KSC 60 EB 8,0 I-Plus US Plus Energy Set Combo Limited Quantities

The Festool KAPEX KSC 60 Cordless Sliding Compound Miter Saw Energy Set Combo (579356) delivers corded-level cutting accuracy with the freedom of a cordless platform. Designed for professional carpenters, finish installers, and serious woodworkers, this 8-1/2″ sliding compound miter saw provides precise crosscuts across a wide range of materials and angles while remaining compact and highly portable. The included Energy Set supplies two 8.0 Ah Li-HighPower batteries and two SCA 16 rapid chargers, ensuring dependable runtime for a full day of work.

At the core of the KSC 60 is Festool’s twin-column guide system, which uses dual bearings to guide the saw head smoothly through every cut. This design prevents head play and deflection, resulting in clean, accurate cuts regardless of miter or bevel settings. The saw delivers miter angles up to 60° on both sides and bevel angles up to 46° right and 47° left, supporting complex trim, casing, and compound angle work without calculations when paired with the included angle transfer device.

Powered by a brushless EC-TEC motor and a dual-battery 36V system (2 × 18V), the KSC 60 maintains consistent blade speed under load while eliminating cords on the jobsite. Variable speed control allows the saw to adapt to different materials, while the LED spotlight projects the blade shadow directly onto the workpiece for accurate cut alignment. Clever details such as a forward rail design, extension tables, elevation feet, and onboard dust collection make this saw equally suited for shop use and mobile installations. This Energy Set Combo brings together the saw and power system under one SKU for a complete, ready-to-work solution.

Please note: Festool offers a 1 Year Limited Warranty but you can add an additional 2 Years when you register your tool within 30 Days of Purchase.
