From the Manufacturer Powerful 15 AMP motor for smooth cutting; lightweight (40lbs.) and portable for easy transporting to job site. It has a large 27" x 22" table along with electric brake for quick and efficient adjustments. It features a dead-on cam locking rip fence; large handle for quick and accurate depth settings. Precise rack and pinion bevel adjustments and positive stops at 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Includes stand (192680-7). Amazon.com For the price, Makita's 10-inch portable table saw is a solid choice for the job site. The 15 amp motor packs plenty of power, and with a 3-9/16-cut capacity, this saw will rip four-by material on a single pass. This saw also has an electric brake, so adjustments between cuts are both safer and quicker to make. The table's a good size, too: 27 by 22 inches. We also really like the saw's new cam-lock rip fence, which is much easier to adjust than double-locking designs. The bevel adjust has a pretty good rack-and-pinion design (metal, admittedly, would be better). All in all, this saw strikes a nice balance between weight (only 40 pounds) and vibration (minimal). Simply put, the Makita 2703 is a solid saw, better for the job site (quick, powerful, lightweight) than the home shop. For the shop, we'd recommend a saw with a more accurate fence. --Jon Groebner |
