Makita 2703X1 15 Amp 10-Inch Benchtop Table Saw with Fixed Stand


I have owned this saw for over 10 years. It is used for wood working and home improvement stuff. the saw produces cuts that amaze me. The accuracy is superb. However I always use a top of the line Thin Kerf ripping blade. Thin Kerf is the only way to go on a saw of this size. When the blade gets worn out, it must be replaced. If you buy it, You will get more value than you paid for. Aside from the blade upgrade, I put some locking swivel casters on the fixed stand and it is super easy to move around my garage as needed. I also use a dust collector with it. What a health saver. When I used it without dust collection and without a mask, I got sick. so at the very least use a mask. With dust collection, you get almost no mess and a healthier work environment.
So, if this saw suits your available work space go for it. If you have ample space and a much larger budget, get something bigger. Keep in mind, this saw does its job most excellent, and I usually cut PADOUK And other hard Thick Stock up to 8 feet long.

Customer Reviews

WARNING: Good saw, terrible miter slots – R. L. Manugian – Olympia, WA USA
I’ve been using this saw for about a year, and it holds up well and cuts well … but the slots for miter bars are horrible. They’re skinnier than the standard 3/4″ slots on most saws, and not as deep, so they can’t accommodate standard miter gauges and other accessories like featherboards. And since the table top is aluminum and not steel, you can’t use magnetic featherboards, either. If you want to do something more than simple cuts where precision isn’t important, my advice is to shop around for a saw with standard miter slots.

Makita Table Saw – Ken Kruse – Central Lake, MI
Good product. Just what I expected. Very pleased with Amazon—will purchase items through them in the future.

Good saw however poor fence – archerhunter – WI
I used this saw in the past for jobsite work. It worked well. I have had no problems with it. The fence is definetly lacking for precise work, however for any rough work it works well. The included stand is fine for workshop use but otherwise would be a major pain to move around and is heavy. If you want to buy a saw for fine woodworking, I highly recommend you purchase a more expensive saw. For a portable, I would buy the dewalt model over this one. The major reason being the fence. My rating is for a portable saw for rougher work.
