Re: Benchtop Tablesaws: We Want Your Feedback

My 10" Makita is 8 yrs old. While it does have its limitations it does a great job for what I need.

I build cedar strip canoes & kayaks and canoe paddles. For ripping cedar strips and hardwood laminations it does just fine. It doesn't take up much space in the garage and I can easily roll it out into the driveway when I need room for ripping 20' cedar strips. I am not looking to replace it.


The miter gauge channel on my older model is smaller than most which limits its functionality. I suspect Makita has fixed that problem on newer models. The dust collector port is small and an unusual size that does not allow for adequate dust collection. Despite those limitations, I am not looking to replace it.
