Description of Makita 2704X1 Contractors 15 Amp 10-Inch Benchtop Table Saw with Stand
Aluminum die cast, precision machined table top remains flat and true for out of the box accuracy.Right extension table allows for greater cutting capacity with the capability to rip 4X8 sheets of plywood. Large cutting capacity (3-5/8" at 90° and 2-1/2"The only difference between this Makita jobsite saw and a fancy cabinet saw is that you can easily pick this one up and put it in your truck and wheel it effortlessly to your jobsite or out of the way in your shop. In terms of power, capacity, accuracy and capability, it?s a draw.
A 15-amp motor revs up to provide 4,800 rpm, plenty for cutting anything you can feed it, and its impressive cutting capacity lets you rip 4-by stock in one pass without moaning or slowing ? that?s power. The table?s perfectly flat, and with its extension, it can actually hand a full sheet of ply, cutting dadoes of almost an inch.
The thing that makes this saw stand out from its competitors is the T-slots for the miter gauge, resulting in a nice tight fit zero play and total support ? no tipping -- when you?re beyond the table surface. Even better, commercial jigs and accessories with the T-shank just slip right in.
The blade height mechanism is among the smoothest we?ve seen, and precision is unparalleled. The fence is sturdy and smooth as well, with predrilled holes for an auxiliary fence. It moves like a dream and locks down tight with an easy-to-grip cam handle.
Storage is a nice feature on the 2704, well thought-out and executed, with a place for everything from the fence to the push stick. We like that there?s even a place for the blade below the table to protect it while it?s traveling.
At 61 pounds, it?s light enough to tote, and there are handholds beveled out on the sides of the table to make the job easier. The stand has rugged wheels and a nice comfortable grip that makes the moving easy on your lower back. Contractors, trim carpenters and the home woodworker will love this saw.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Amazon.com Product Description
Right extension table allows for greater cutting capacity with the capability to rip 4 by 8 sheets of plywood on the aluminum die cast, precision machined table top that remains flat and true for out-of-the-box accuracy. The saw?s large cutting capacity (3-5/8 inches at 90 degrees and 2-1/2 inches at 45 degrees) can rip 4 by material in one pass and can use up to a 13/16 inches dado blade. The powerful 15-amp motor delivers 4,800 rpm and has electric brake for maximum productivity. Its complete storage capacity holds most commonly used accessories including saw blade, power supply cord, miter gauge, rip fence, push stick, wrench, safety guard and dado blade. The 3/8 inches by 3/4 inches T-slot miter gauge grooves accepts commercial accessories with T-formed shanks for versatile cutting, and the saw blade can be enclosed underneath the table to protect the blade during transport. The dead-on cam-locking rip fence and bevel locking handle give fast and easy adjustments, and the two pole slide system for raising and lowering blade gives the most efficient and smoothest adjustment of the blade depth.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita 2704X1 Contractors 15 Amp 10-Inch Benchtop Table Saw with Stand
Customer Review: Bosch Beater
Summary: 5 Stars
I was going to get the Bosch 4000 and saw the Makita at a local Home Depot. I looked over the saw for an hour and decided I would get it. Here is the number 1 reason to get this saw: the fence has allen screws on the top to fine tune it parallel to the blade. Once it is adjusted it stays parallel. As far as I know no other saw offers this. Undercarriage is all metal and the bevel gears are METAL not plastic like the Bosch and every other saw. 3 5/8 blade depth is good. Power is very good ,I cut thru 8/4 white oak without a problem and the cut was relatively smooth.The saw is almost as quiet as my General cabinet saw. The cart is very good and easy to use. The only drawbwck is that when stored on it's end it extends somewhat beacause it uses gas cartridges and as far as I can see does'nt have a locking mechanism. It has a unique 2 lever locking system for the extension table (25 inch cut) The only downside is that it doesn't have provisions for a outfeed table and is 38 inches tall (about the same as the bosch. The weight is a little high but was easy to get on my tailgate to roll in my pickup. Don't confuse this saw with the 2703, this is a new design. I believe this saw will beat out the bosch when the reviews come out.
