Urgently required Kapex 120
Due to the recent bashing to death of my useless piece of junk Chinese Bosch SCMS with a 14 pound hammer I am in URGENT need of a good quality ACCURATE SCMS - prefer KAPEX.
PM me with what you have.
cheers
Sheddie
PS. No flowers or condolences for late unlamented Bosch junk. 🤬If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

Check Gumtree, there is/has been quite a few there for sale recently. Presumably people are upgrading to the newer version.

I recently bought a TS55 (new condition) from this seller on gumtree and can confirm it arrived quickly and as described. I see he has a kapex for sale as well as a heap of other things.

hahahahahaha I know how you feel. I bought one of those useless Triton routers and it fell against the sledge hammer quite a few times. I too had the Bosch SCMS and it went to god. I bought a kapex 120 which was great all though very heavy and recently sold that on to a forum member. I now have a small Makita and feel that that is a better option for me as it is light and transportable and very accurate. I do keep the sledge hammer handy just in case it falls short........

Hey Col, a fellow victim of the cheap labour epidemic. But the pair of Triton TRA 001s I have never miss a beat (mounted under a pair of kreg winer plates).
May have a second look at the chinese makita that hardfeware shops seem to keep. Do Makita still produce any tools in Japan I wonder.If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

Check the one you buy as I know a few guys who've ditched the festool kapex, too.

The Makita I bought is Chinese but seems to work well and all angles are accurate. Time will tell if that lasts. Everything seems to be Chinese these days. As for routers I have two large and two small DeWalts. Kept searching the various online selling places for as new old stuff. The big old ELU - DeWalts are the best I think.

I fully concur! My trusty (and very, very old) ELU MOF177E is still my go to router for almost anything of consequence.
Built to last forever, nice balance for hefty one handed work, heaps of grunt, soft start, and the fact it's not as loud as some of the Makita's/Hitachi's I've had over the years is a bonus.
Couldn't recommend anything ELU high enough.
