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 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.

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.19 of 19 people found the following review helpful.Well designed toolBy T. SheffieldThis is a fine table saw. It's easy to set up, smooth running, stable and sturdy, and it's easy on the back as it rolls on sturdy wheels. The few quibbles that I have are relatively minor and since the saw is new I may find other solutions over time. First, the fence adjustment is not as easy as it sounds and the manual is severely lacking in information. There are 4 allen screws on top of the fence and not two as the manual states. I had to play hit or miss to make the fence parallel to the blade. The scale layout for the fence is very ambiguous even with the magnifier. The centimeter scale is seen better than the inch one. The fence lock and adjustment is better on the Dewalt 10"; I like their rotating knob adjustment. Now the good stuff. The table itself is firm and steady and ready to rip full sheets of plywood. With the blade recessed I use it as workbench for sanding etc. because it is so big and steady. The table extension is great. The blade goes up and down smoothly and easily and the best part is the smoothness of the motor. It's quiet and strong and goes through 4x4 pressure treated stock like butter; hardwoods too. And the brake works perfectly. I haven't tried the miter guage yet so I can't comment but with minor tweaking this could be the best and smoothest portable on the market. Oh, and best of all I got this saw for under $500 with free shipping from Tyler Tool. What a deal.After using this saw for a while I want to downgrade it for several reasons mostly the fence. The adjustment is haphazard and inaccurate and does not stay square to the blade when clamped. I see no way to remedy the problem. The Dewalt has a great fence adjustment and tightening system but the table is too small for sheet goods. Also the blade insert is not stable and is hard or impossible to get to sit flat on all sides and the blade cannot be adjusted parallel to the table. All in all the saw has much promise but fails to fulfill in all the important ways.After having this saw for two years I need to downgrade it to one star. It is absolute crap. From the fence to the plastic gears to the bevel adjustment, this saw is junk. I have broken teeth on the bevel gear twice. The gears to the blade height must be cleaned almost every day. The fence adjustment makes squaring next to impossible. I could go on. DO NOT BUY THIS SAW.15 of 15 people found the following review helpful.Very good saw for professionalsBy ErichA month ago I bought this saw from Tyler Tools to replace the old Delta 9" I've been lugging out to jobs. Now that I've used it daily I feel that I'm qualified to write this review. This is a very good little saw. My opinion of Makita tools might be biased because of past good experiences with their other tools (though their cordless tools don't impress me much) however there is just no denying that this is a well designed machine. All the tools store on-board the saw base - tightly. Just like the Bosch - the blade storage is also on-board the base. I bet the machined aluminum table will long outlast the Bosch and Rigid as will the metal gears. I hooked up the shop vac to the saw's dust port and was relieved of 90% of the dust generated during the ripping of MDF. Another reviewer commented that the bevel release levers were flimsy. Well - you really don't need to crank on it that much to release or lock it. Unfortunately the saw doesn't come packaged with any finesse. That you have to bring to work yourself.This saw has more than enough power to handle ripping most any materials. The fence is sufficient. You got to remember it's not a cabinet saw and your not buying a Biesemeyer fence. The table extension works great. The reasons I didn't give it a fifth star:1. Makita greased up the front and rear fence rails with what appears to be cosmolene. Why? I had to wipe the thing down when I first unpacked it and I'm still wiping it off.2. Although the stand seems to be working just fine - I don't have that kind of faith in it - yet. The jury is still out. 3. The plastic push stick is pure home owner crap. Makita could have spent the cost of it by adding 1 foot more to the length of the power cord.So, all you contractors and big dollar carpenters, hurry on down to your favorite on-line store (Tyler Tools) and get yourself this mighty fine saw! You won't regret it.See all 9 customer reviews...
