Designed for the KAPEX KS 120 and KS 88 sliding compound mitre saws, this clever accessory does far more than simply support a workpiece. Its integrated hold-down function keeps material securely positioned against the stop and helps reduce the risk of material kickback, often eliminating the need for time-consuming individual clamping. Sliding Zero Clearance splinter guards support the workpiece directly alongside the saw blade for cleaner, low-splinter cross cuts and make it possible to work safely and accurately with remarkably small sections. The height-adjustable aluminium profile is ideal for positioning crown mouldings and stucco profiles in their original wall position and accommodates mouldings up to 168 mm high. The same profile can also be used as a length stop for repeat cutting, a side insert for groove cutting or as a spacer. With tool-free fitting of the contact plates and splinter guards, reversible positioning for narrow workpieces and a special configuration for tall material and mitre cuts, the AS-KS 120-R\/L is an exceptionally useful upgrade for professional joinery, interior fitting, furniture manufacture and trim work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eOne multifunction stop – many more possibilities for your KAPEX\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe AS-KS 120-R\/L combines several commonly required mitre-saw functions into one integrated system. It secures the workpiece against the fence, provides close-to-blade support for small components, helps reduce splintering on the exit side of the cut, supports tall decorative mouldings and can be configured as a repeat length stop. The result is faster setup, better workpiece control and greater consistency when moving between different cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv

The AS-KS 120-R\/L lets the moulding be positioned against the adjustable aluminium profile in this same installed orientation. With the profile supported close to the blade and its height set using the integrated scale, repetitive mitre cuts become easier to set up and reproduce.
