Having very limited space in my workshop although I would have preferred a fixed-based saw it was impossible to accomodate. The only way for me was a protable on a stand. I considered the Bosch as I do favour Bosch power tool and the Makita. I picked the Malkita 2704 with its folding stand over the Bosch as I considered the blade guard assembly to be superior. I equiped the saw with a Freud Premier Fusion Blade and a Incra Miter 1000SE.

Oh, by the way I make furniture, mainly chairs. The saw is a not really up to this but it does the job. Without it I could not do what I do.
