Excellent bit of kit. As a new woodworker and finding my feet I find this table saw covers all my needs at present. Great tool and would recommend to anyone. Excellent addition to my growing Makita collection.

Looks an excellent piece of kit not had time to use it yet to its full potential. The instructions were clear and precise.

A quality item, more a pro piece of equipment than a top hobby one. It needs to be carefully setup to reveal its potential.

Removing the blade is cumbersome because the blade guard requires a special tool to remove a screw. I know it’s about safety but if you don’t know how to use it... you shouldn’t buy it..Apart from that it seems a good bit of kit..time will tell!

Brilliant

Ordered on-line from Howe tools. I was going to get a cheaper model but went for this instead. It's a beast. Not your average bench saw. Really solid. Easy to set up. Required very little adjustment. Cuts true. I haven't used all of it's functions yet but I don't expect any issues (based on current use and other Makita tools I own) at all.What I would say is it's really aimed at above average DIYers or trades professionals. It's not a small/lightweight tool either. One person can move it but I would say, for safety, a two man lift. I had intended to use it on my work bench but in the end bought the trolley to go with it. That makes it much more portable and user friendly. I would recommend purchasing the trolley, as an additional accessory. Bit pricey (at least ... MoreOrdered on-line from Howe tools. I was going to get a cheaper model but went for this instead.

I would recommend purchasing the trolley, as an additional accessory. Bit pricey (at least £180.00) but again, like the saw (also not cheap), is a great bit of kit. Simple lift and raise mechanism, plus wheels, means you can bring the saw to the work rather than have to bring the work to the saw.I gave it 4 star for price as it is expensive but...you get a big piece of kit for the money.

saw cuts well, but the fence seriously lets everything down as it doesn't clamp tight.I have used makita for over 20years and trust their products. if I had tried the saw before purchase, I would not have bought it.

Fixed raving knife, not worth!

The riving knife Is not the same as previous model (2704) where you could move it up and down and make “blind dados”. Here you simply can’t without removing totally protection and riving knife. I guess Makita make this move to stop people converting a construction site saw into a table saw.
