Kapex 120 will not crosscut in a straigth line
My Festool Kapex is terrible. It will not crosscut a dead straight line over 300 x 19mm wide pine board or MDF board as it is supposed to do. Tends to head to one side at first, straightens up, and then tends to turn back. So looking down on the finished cut, it is like the long elongated side of large oval shape cut.
Any suggestions on possible causes and how to fix it please?regards,
Dengy

probably a new blade needed just through wear and tear or have you recently jammed and stopped the blade crosscutting in a piece that closed down on it.
This has happened to me and i bent a blade.Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

I had a similar issue with my TS55. Could only be track or blade. Turns out it was the blade.
