This is a great saw, however, I’m surprised that Makita hasn’t developed a better fence system. I also have a Dewalt table saw and the rack and pinion system is the best.

Makita has the best portable table saw on the market, love it.

Can’t do a 3/4 Dado Cut with it .

Only had for a couple months but overall a good saw. Easy set up and the enclosed motor housing keeps the noise down. Fence install was a little confusing. Have already used several times with good results.

It is light weight, handy and easy to use.

Great saw that works right out of the box with minimal set up. The aluminum top and plastic bottom make the whole thing easy to lift and move, although that lightweight top is easy to scratch.

After looking at, and feeling, major job-site and contractor saws in stores, and viewing all 3 (or so) Makita table saw reviews on YouTube, I selected the Makita 2705 for the following reasons: bigger, actual 22 1/4″ inch depth of table top, 29″+ left to right with very sturdy extension out to plenty, heavier weight (metal structure & motor), well-executed fence, and overall quality. No one seems to complain about Makita except the folks that do not like the ABS plastic base, ala Bosch 4100, which I have no problem with since I will not be tossing this tool onto a truck bed. In early use I did adjust the blade-to-miter-slot distance a little in front. Other check tests seem right on. The whole thing just feels more together that the “others”.

Smooth and powerful saw. Many adjustments to get you the cuts you need. It is a bit on the heavy side so not as portable as others but if you are strong nothing to worry about. Make a rolling stand for it for easy wheeling around your workspace. Well built and beautiful to say the least.

Great saw, came squared from factory and ready tow work. Purchased a 50 tooth blade to rip wood.

Easy setup. Purchased on line thru Home Depot. Arrived as scheduled. The only downfall was trying to purchase the Dado Blade insert. Home Depot does not carry them in store. Saw works perfectly. Bought it for home projects and Wife to do lists.

Love Makita tools especially since Makita USA factory service center right in Dayton NJ.

Too early to really tell but so far seems like a nice piece of equipment. I have only taken a couple of test cuts with it as I am just now getting my garage shop up and running. My first project has to be a router table. Those drastically improve the capabilities of your router (also a Makita). The only issue I have seen so far is when you raise or lower the blade the angle also moves. So you need to make sure you get your blade height set then re-dial in your angle

I researched this table saw for several weeks….read all the reviews about the Makita as well as other comparable saws. For me the key was the higher rpms that this saw delivers plus the Makita’s motor IS NOT made in China. The blade arrived perfectly square but I did have to adjust the fence and the mitre to get a perfect cut. I also had to adjust the riving knife to align it perfectly behind the blade. I didn’t mind the set up because it forced me to become familiar with the saw. The saw was over lubricated with petroleum jelly and that was a minor annoyance.About the fence, it was easy to adjust and although it locks firm and square, it still can be moved if enough pressure is applied on the out feed end. A quick-grip clamp solves the problem.The mitre fence had a small bit of play, which I eliminated by applying some duct tape on the bottom of the fence rail. It now slides smooth and has ZERO play.I replaced the stock 32 tooth cross ripping blade with a full kerf 50 tooth Freud ATB blade (LU84M011) and have cut several hard woods with only a small drop in rpm, but no burning, binding or lights dimming in the shop. I cut some aged pressure treated 2 x 8s that were very dense and the saw performed well. So far that was the ultimate test. Granted, it was a brand new blade but my radial arm saw did not perform as well cutting the same wood.One feature I really like is the brake on the blade when you turn of the power. It allows you to remove your cut wood without having to wait for the blade to stop rotating…..that’s when a lot of accidents tend to happen.The saw has a larger platform than most of its competitors, but I can still carry this saw relatively easily and I am age 56, and weight 168 pounds.One complaint I can think of is the noise the saw makes at start up. It think it has something to do with the braking system disengaging, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem other than the sound. During operation, the saw is less noisy than other saws I have used.Overall, I am very satisfied with this portable saw. I feel it is a top of the line saw for a do-it-your-selfer and it you want more power you have to graduate up to a cabinet saw. At the price I purchased this saw I feel Home Depot deserves my attention more often. Thank you HD!

I had a 12 year old full sized Rigid that was seldom used, yet the 10 amp motor still burned up, very disappointing! This Makita is GREAT compared to the Rigid. Plenty of excess power (first job was ripping 2×4 on 38 deg angle, and it chewed through it no problem), light saw, but sturdy, very solid and well built. Other reviewers complained about the fence? I think the fence is great and it cut true out of the box (I did have to adjust the angle indicator on the blade though). I have had a really good track record with Makita motors, I down right abuse some of my older Makita saws, and they just keep running, so I’m sold on the Makita motor, as opposed to the Dewalt, Rigid, etc., that I just don’t think are the highest quality and I seem to hear about them burning up more often. Bottom line, it was worth the extra $ for me to get the Makita.

Overall, it seems like a good saw. It only extends to on side, so some full sheet work might be a pain. The brake is really nice to have. They make you buy the dado insert seperatly@30+$ and it only takes a 6″ dado set. II’ve tripped a 20amp breaker running hickory through it.
Laney Kemmer (verified owner) –
Able to accept dado stack, where most other saws in this size class don’t. Rip fence needs an adjustment knob to dial in measurements. Good power, ran white oak through dado with no problem.
Madelyn Emard (verified owner) –
Excellent power. Accurate rip fence and miter guide. Set up was very easy. The max depth of cut for this saw is a major advantage.
Judson Luettgen (verified owner) –
This is an exceptional saw. Bought a rigid first everyrhing was so out of square it couldn’t be made square. Blows away the dewalts to. The makita was square right out of the box. Top is flat excellent fence. Brushes in motor are replaceable. Can’t say enough good things about it. Get one.

Very nice saw. It’s my second one. Motor on first one went out after about 8 years. I used it about once a week.
