At a Glance: Left-side trimming attachment with telescopic measuring scale, adjustable stop and extendable support from 1280 mm to 2070 mm.
The Festool KA-KS L Trimming Attachment is a professional left-side support and measuring extension for accurate, repeatable cutting with the Festool KAPEX KS 120 and KS 88 mitre saws. It is designed to make cutting long workpieces easier, safer and more accurate by giving timber, mouldings, profiles and trim material proper support while also providing a practical length stop for repeated cuts. Whether used in a workshop, on site, for finishing work, shopfitting, carpentry or installation work, this attachment helps turn your KAPEX setup into a more complete and efficient cutting station.
The KA-KS L is built for controlled, accurate cutting of long material on the left-hand side of the saw. The telescopic measuring mechanism, adjustable stop, scale and stable support legs help improve workflow, reduce marking time and deliver consistent cutting lengths with professional Festool precision.
