bevel adjustment. Positive stops are located at 90 and 45

Amazon.com Review
For the price, the Makita 2703 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
