Summary: plenty of power
Comment: I've owned this saw for seven years now and couldn't be happier. I use it with the Rousseau stand and one wing extension which in my opinion is a must have for the professional contractor. Forget the lousy miter slot, that's what a good cabinet saw in the shop is for. On the job I assume most have a good chop saw with them for crosscuts. The fence is ok I guess for a quick cut when you need to pull the saw out in a hurry and don't feel like dropping it in the stand. For the most part I use the fence with the Rousseau stand which also is less than perfect if your trying to cut to the nearest 64th. This saw has flawlessly cut through some of the thickest lumber (even wet) that I've pushed through it (as long as it's not twisted)
My saw has been left out in the rain more times than I care to admit and still works as good as day one. A thorough cleaning of the mechanics with Paslode's cordless gun cleaner and a good spray lubricant has kept the raising and lowering gears running smooth. The brake system is a must have and still works great after all these years.
A buddy of mine was set up next to me with his brand new Bosch table saw and couldn't get it to cut through a wet 2x6 in one pass without bogging down the motor...He pushed it through mine effortlessly and to say the least was a little unhappy. To be fair with the Bosch, he was running a higher tooth blade more suited to finishing, but so was I...To make him feel better I told him "But yours looks really cool"...
Nice job Makita, don't ruin a good thing.

Summary: Not Precise Enough for Woodworking, Flimsy Fence
Comment: I had this for my first table saw when I started woodworking. No matter how long I spent adjusting it, I couldn't get the rear of the fence to lock solid, or to lock in the same place every time. VERY frustrating when you're trying to make pieces of plywood with square corners.
This is not the same caliber tool as Makita's hand tools.
It may work OK for carpenters, but compared to woodworking, they don't need any kind of precision. For that, a good contractor saw like a Jet would be good. But do spend the money for the upgraded fence. The stock fences on those are garbage too. If you really need a lightweight, compact saw, look at the DeWalt and the Bosch.

Summary: Makita fan
Comment: Great saw. I haved owned two of the 81/4 makitas and the dark army green one gave up after 12 yrs of hard service and the current green/blue still working.This saw is more powerful and I like the bevel wheel however sawdust gt into the mechanism and kept it from going to 45 after clearing it it has been good.I have the roussou set up the fatory fence is a joke for finish accuracy.with the roussou table this is a really good saw for small shop and portable situations.25 yr exp woodworker.

Summary: Makita 2703 bench saw
Comment:
I purchased this saw with to use with the Rousseau 2750 portable saw stand. Thus far this duo has given me the results I was looking for in a portable unit. The only knock on the Makita saw is that the table top is only able to use the Makita T-slot mitre guage.

Summary: The old workhorse
Comment: Not the best table saw, but for 212 dollars after shipping it was by far the best for me. Motor is great, solid construction, lighter than a Bosch or the newest Makita. The fence is lame, you have to parralel it to the blade front and back every time you reset it to make a different width rip. The blade arbor has some play in it which is evident if the fence is not prefectly parrelel and you are ripping PT stock or whatever. I allready knew this.The addition of a Rousseau table for 300 bucks gives it 32" rip capacity, a great fence and a table to set things on, I've used that combo before. I will buy it in the near future. If you are building cabinets furniture, it's not for you but if you are doing framing, remodels, trim, siding, it's a good saw but be aware of it's faults before buying it and then crying about them.
