When most crafters think about Makita, we generally think about really great power tools, about superior performance with no exceptions. This is no accident, of course, Makita doesn’t cut corners and the result is uncompromising power tools like the 2507 benchtop table saw.

Maktia’s 2705 is designed for total accuracy and super-smooth operation. The saw’s 15 AMP motor delivers 4,800 RPM for controlled cuts in rough stock and, thanks to a precision machined, die-cast aluminum table top (that’s truly true and totally flat right out of the box), you can rely on both a powerful motor and Makita’s super-precise design (it’s table size (LxW): 22-1/4″ x 29-5/8″ – 42″). The saw’s tool-less modular blade guard is simple to remove and reinstall and features a 3-position adjustable riving knife that, yes, adjusts surprisingly easily. This makes it simpler and safer for users to accommodate different cut-types and encourages users to reinstall the blade guard. The guard is additionally designed for better visibility ensuring users can see the blade as is contacts the cut material.

For improved versatility, the saw’s T-slot miter gauge accepts accessories with T-formed shanks. Two independent anti-kickback pawls keep you safer in kickback situations and with adjustable, dual-slide guards, Makita’s 2705 offers easier cut set-ups and simple measurements from blade to rip fence. Designed with a cam-locking rip fence with a bevel locking handle, the saw offers dead-on accuracy as well as fast and simple adjustments. A two-pole slide system additionally renders blade depth adjustments super-smooth, simple and efficient, and because the saw allows you to store the blade underneath the saw table, the machine is safer to transport.

Despite being a benchtop tool, the table saw offers an extended 25-inch ripping capacity and a large cutting capacity capable of cutting 4x material in one pass. The saw has a large on-off switch, features an easy to read scale for faster adjustments and also offers an electronic brake for improved productivity. – To keep everything you need exactly where you need it, Makita has also outfitted the 2705 with on-board storage space with the capacity to hold your most commonly used accessories (for example, you can comfortably stow a saw blade, dado blade, miter gauge, rip fence, safety guard, push stick, wrench and etc).

Though this benchtop saw doesn’t include a stand, the machine offers totally superior performance. The 2705 table saw includes a 32-tooth carbide-tipped blade, a rip fence, miter gauge, push stick, socket wrench and wrench #5 and #19.
