A Closer Look at Some of the Most
Popular Models of Makita
Tablesaws
Over the years, Makita tablesaws have come to be rated
as amongst the very best table saws in the world. It is a
reputation built on amongst other things, performance,
durability and day-to-day reliability. There are people, many
people in fact, who look out specifically for ‘Makita’ whenever
they are out shopping for table saws, who will go to great
lengths to get one such Makita table saw – and who will only
think of opting for anything else when they absolutely can’t
get any one of the said Makita
tablesaws.
Now like most pieces of equipment of their
stature, Makita tablesaws
come in many models. The models represent a technological
advancement over the years, or different utility levels (like
where a given model A can do things that another given model B
can’t do). And some of these models seem to be more popular
than others, perhaps as a result of their ‘goodness’ or perhaps
simply as a result of their greater utility – that is, the
unique things they can do that the other models
can’t.
Here then is exploration of what seem to be
amongst the most popular models of Makita table saws –at least
as per the numbers of people searching for them online and the
stores that keep them on stock:
The Makita 2705 10” Contractor Table
Saw
This is a high performance table saw,
obviously meant for commercial use. It is widely considered by
many people as being the ‘best in class’ table saw. Amongst the
most commonly cited attractive features in it are its
convenience (as it comes with a considerable number of features
meant to ease the user’s work), its high capacity for work and
its sheer power. It also helps that this is a highly versatile
machine, so that having it means having ‘many things at once.’
While naturally quite an expensive piece of equipment, it is
still considered to be one of the most cost effective
tablesaws; especially when the price tag is viewed against the
expected performance and durability.
Makita H3836-10” Table
Saw
One of the features that endear this table
saw to users is its portability, thanks to its relative light
weight at about 20 kilograms. Yet the relative small size and
light weight of Makita H3836-10” table saw belie a lot of
power, based on its remarkable 15-ampere motor. The working
table space it provides, thanks to its dimensions at 27 inches
by 22 inches is enough space for most peoples needs. The price
tag, according to many people, is quite reasonable too. And the
reputation that it has built over the years in terms of
durability is another endearing feature – keeping it in mind
that durability and performance are two things that most people
won’t be willing to compromise on when shopping for equipment
like this.
Makita 2703 15-Ampere 10” Benchtop
Table Saw
This is yet another one of the most popular
Makita tablesaws; thanks
mainly to its wide array of features. Those include its
considerable cut capacity (at 3-9/16), its electric brake and
the considerable working space it provides, thanks to its table
dimensions, at 22 x 27 inches.
