The 2705X1 is powered by a 15 AMP motor that delivers 4,800 RPM with an electric brake for maximum productivity. The large cutting capacity (3-5/8 inches at 90° and 2-1/2 inches at 45°) can rip 4X material in one pass, and can use up to a 13/16-inch dado blade. The 2705X1 also features a tool-less modular blade guard system with adjustable dual side guards to allow for ease of measurement from the blade to the rip fence for cutting setups. The two on-board independent stowable anti-kickback pawls and riving knife/spreader allows for through cuts. In addition, the riving knife/spreader adjusts to three different positions for through, non-through and dado cuts - and it adjusts without removing the throat plate.

This review is from: Makita 2705X1 10-Inch Contractor Table Saw with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement) This saw has plenty of power (over a 1,000 rpm higher than dewalt or bosch) and is the only job site saw that has the cutting capacity and power to cut 4x material in one pass. Table is nice size and extends easily when needing to cut wide material. The fence is good but not great as others have noted. The fence has several adjustments to square to the blade and increase clamping power. When ripping sheet goods or long 2x material it doesn't take much to bump out of alignment(but have experienced this with dewalt and bosch fences), but for cutting normal material it works great. I fixed the problem of cutting large material with a set of irwin quick-grip clamps that stay with the saw, that gives me the staying power for the fence when I need to cut large material. Almost everything on this saw is adjustable to true it besides lateral blade adjustment like on reviewer stated, but do any job site table saws have this feature? The riving knife is one of the best features of this saw...Read more 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  Makita Saw with improved fence, By This review is from: Makita 2705X1 10-Inch Contractor Table Saw with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement) The 2705 saw is essentially the same saw as the 2704, except with a supposedly better blade guard. I won't comment on the blade guard at this time as I think they are almost as dangerous as they are safe. For someone who will be using the saw for straight cabinetwork, keep looking. For the contractor who needs a saw with plenty of power, and a variety of tasks on various jobsites, it definately worth considering.
Pros. Legendary Makita Power. The saw will actually rip a 4x4 in half in one pass, and not just with a new blade. Improved Rip Fence. Users of Makitas older table saws (2701,2702,2703) will definately see some improvement here as the earlier saws rip fences must have been an afterthought Stand is nice with the adjustable height. Could have used larger wheels though Cons. Rip fence. While improved its still a long way from Dewalts. This was one of my biggest hangups with buying...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Minor design flaw with fence but will not die., By This review is from: Makita 2705X1 10-Inch Contractor Table Saw with Stand (Tools & Home Improvement) We bought this saw when it first came out back around 2006. We use it almost every day in our production trim business. In a typical week we will rip down thousands of feet of window, pocket door, caseing, bifold jamb, cabinet fillers, particle board stair treads and mdf sheets. Year after year. Last year we trimmed out over 120 homes with this saw with up to 5 carpenters at a time. In our line of work we know of crews that trim less houses and burn up more saws. The motor in this saw should outlast anything else out there. The MDF dust we have to deal with these days does not phase this saw. That is the good. Here is the bad. This is not a cabinet saw. If you are doing paint grade production work and a lot of it this is the saw for you. The fence can be aggravating until you figure out how to adjust it. And then it can still be a pain. Our saw came with grease all over the rails. Would not lock securely enough until we cleaned it up with brake cleaner. Also the plastic...Read more |
