Makita - Tablesaw 2703
Makita’s portable tablesaw benefits from it’s optional stand, which accommodates cutting large sheets of plywood.
Oct 25, 2005
The best stand without wheels. The stand (made by Rousseau) converts the benchtop saw into the heart of a portable woodworking shop. Makita has the most solid system for cutting full sheets of plywood on the best tabletop worksurface with the longest rip fence. It’s also the most expensive saw. On the downside, the miter gauge and blade guard are disappointing. The miter-gauge slots are too small for an aftermarket miter gauge, and the gauge that comes with the saw feels more like a toy than a tool. The guard won’t flip back out of the way, and it’s cumbersome to install and remove. Onboard tool storage is poor.
