Summary: Best Job Site Table Saw 2010-04-25
Comment: 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 and can be adjusted easily and to me a must have (no more lumber pinching and binding the blade). The blade guard with anti-kickback paws is nice but the riving knife and being very alert is enough for me. The materials and build quality are great and this saw feels solid compared to Dewalts which feels flimsy in comparison, but that's why Dewalt's saw is much lighter. I do say the Dewalt's fence is a better design but their isn't perfect either. This saw is hefty with the stand, but I can easily lift it into my truck though I am not a small guy. I chose this saw over others for several reasons; power, cutting capacity, nice table size, and easily adjustable riving knife. As for the no available zero clearance throat plate that one reviewer complained about try rockler woodworking make your own kit (works great). Con's are heavier than other models, fence design could be better, and better selection and availability of accessories from Makita. The stand is good, but Dewalt's stand is the best out of any in my opinion.

Summary: W or W/O ? 2010-04-20
Comment: Basic saw. Cuts well, few features. Roars to life, no soft start.Left hand switch (still strange to me! ). Who cares about the guard? Stand is bigger than the saw, and heavier. 3" range of adjustment on the stand,32"-35", I believe. I've got it on a regular fixed base, but maybe I'll use the wheelie someday.
I've got a 25 yr. old 2708 which is a model of reliability (and portability!).

Summary: Makita Saw with improved fence 2010-02-09
Comment: 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 this saw. THe dewalt has a much better rock solid fence. If only they had the makita power, Id be writing a Dewalt review.

Summary: DESIGN FLAWS 2009-11-24
Comment: I have a makita 2704 table saw, its a good saw, but it has two design flaws, theirs no lateral ajustment for the blade, and the throat plate sucks, and you cant buy zero clearance throat plates, and the 2705 is the same.
