Makita Table Saw 255mm 1500W

Good table saw. I reviewed it online before purchase which listed some faults such as the fence is a little short and has some play in it. Also the mitre slide is a little loose. These faults exist but are generally not a big issue. It would be better if the guard could be removed easily so it can be used with a sled but overall a very good saw.

Brilliant saw, after a few modifications, at a great price

A good DIY saw but not for the trades. Blade guards are a nuisance and once removed the riving knife must be cut down to allow wood to pass. As per other saws it needs a new zero tolerance insert. I made it out of 4mm ply which fits well. The fence is too short and flimsy and I copied one I saw from a kiwi on Youtube. The sliding tray is sloppy. I used a strip of plastic from a cut down bucket to pack out the groove on the rhs. The dust exhaust is great, the motor brake excellent. Retail as bare saw $680 elsewhere.

I was well pleased with this saw when it arrived. It is sturdy, powerful and adjustment is very accurate. Only small gripe is that the plastic insert around the blade is rather flimsy and fragile. Other than that a very good tool, an asset to any workshop

Saw arrived with a bent part courtesy of the freight company. Apart from that the service from Trade Tested was A+
