This saw has plenty of power and as far as I'm concerned the best table on any job site table saw that extends out to make cutting sheet goods a breeze compared to other saws. The fence is good but not great as others have noted. The fence has several adjustments to square to the blade and increase clamping power. When ripping sheet goods it doesn't take much to bump out of alignment, but for cutting normal material it works great. I fixed the problem of cutting large material with a set of irwin quick-grip clamps that stay with the saw that gives me the staying power for the fence when I need to rip sheet goods. Almost everything on this saw is adjustable to true it besides lateral blade adjustment like on reviewer stated, but do any job site table saws have this feature? The riving knife is great and can be adjusted easily and the blade guard with anti-kickback paws is nice but the riving knife and being very alert is enough for me. The materials and build quality are great and this saw feels solid compared to Dewalts which feels cheap in comparison, but I do say the Dewalt's fence is a better design. This saw is hefty with the stand, but I can easily lift it into my truck though I am not a small guy. I'd rather have the power and table capacity to cut everything that I need rather then worrying about the heft or having to use clamps when cutting large material. As for the no available zero clearance throat plate that one reviewer complained about, try rockler woodworking make your own kit (works great).

Amazon.com Review

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

The Makita portable table saw in one form or another, has been around for about twenty years, and will no doubt continue to be around for quite a few more. It was being thrown into the open bed of a pickup truck on a rainy overcast day long before either DeWalt or Bosch were ever a jobsite presence. It is probably one the most popular but mishandled, abused and poorly maintained tools on any given jobsite. The design has improved and changed over the years on it's way to becoming the 10-inch 2703 but has always been very solid and capable, unlike many of the people I've seen attempting to operate it with satisfactory results. This saw was designed to be a rugged heavy-duty general-purpose portable jobsite table saw for use with or without table legs and as such, excels in this area. I'm not sure a professional woodworker would want to attempt to build their heirloom quality furniture or custom cabinetry with any portable table saw, but I do know that with the proper setup it can been done successfully with this saw. Overall, I personally feel that with the combination of price, durability and capability the 2703X1 is easily the best portable table saw value on the market today.

Makita did it again. They built a great table saw with a great motor equipped with a blade brake and plenty of power. The table extension is great for ripping large sheets. The major downside again is in the rip fence. I don't understand why Makita engineers can't figure out how to build a rip fence that locks tight and is easy to adjust tracking parallel with the blade. Makita's older more portable model 2703 has the same problem - a poor rip fence. I love Makita motors and overall build, but the rip fences are a huge drawback. The other negative is the weight, but this could be necessary to get the power of this saw. The cast frame that holds the motor is quite beefy as is the table - providing a great sturdy saw but not so portable.
