Festool unveils new products for 2023

Festool USA previewed several new tools at its “Festool Recharged” event, held Feb. 8 at the company’s U.S. headquarters in Lebanon, Ind., and broadcast on social media channels.

“Our next launch will feature our first cordless miter saw. We will also have new track saws this year as well as many other cordless tools. It should be a banner year for Festool,” said product manager Rick Bush, in an interview with Woodshop News.

The event featured the new Kapex KSC 60, a cordless sliding compound miter saw, slated for release this spring. The 36-volt saw is mounted on a self-contained portable stand and features extensions that break down and fold into each other as one unit. It will sell in a kit with two batteries, chargers, accessories, and Systainer carrying case for $1,298.

Another release scheduled for the spring is the Cleantec CTC Midi cordless mobile dust extractor.

Later this year, the company will introduce the TS 60 KEB track saw, a corded tool featuring anti-kickback technology that will shut the saw down with any upward or backward movement, and the CSC SYS 50 cordless table saw, featuring a sliding table and digital blade adjustment.
