About this deal

One such saw is the Makita MLT 100. A saw that I have been using for over a year now and today I will write my detailed and honest review of this Makita product. First glance – Why I bought it For woodworking hobbyist and DIY junkies, benchtop table saws are often the most logical option for their affordability and space-saving qualities. As for the Makita MLT 100, like I said, its a nice saw for the price but don’t expect miracles. It will never measure up to some of the more expensive saws. Makita MLT100N 240V 260mm Table Saw The Makita MLT100N 240V 260mm Table Saw is a high-performance corded power tool that will benefit professional carpenters and kitchen fitters. Powerful 1500W motor and TCT saw included.

As for the fence, well, my solution was to make an entirely new replacement fence. I never got around to it and more recently I decided to upgrade my saw. I haven’t found one yet but in the meantime, I am not going to bother upgrading the saw. Hi Jean, First of all, thanks for such detailed review. Do you know if its possible to use the throat plate that comes with Makita 2704 in the MLT100? If it is, it would be an outstanding improvement, considering that, in my understanding, the plate of 2704 is completely of aluminium. I don’t know the exact measures of each plate. For many professional woodworkers, their table saws form the cornerstones of their woodworking operations.

The Makita mlt100 is cost-effective compared to 2704. The mlt100 is under 700 whereas 2704 is almost 1000. Verdict on the makita 2704 vs mlt100 But I agree about the fences, they need modification and that bloody throat plate was the first thing to go. Rufus, the Woodwork Junkie mascot reminding you SAFETY comes FIRST! Power tools can be dangerous if not used correctly.

For me the MLT100 is a good choice, I can’t afford a professional saw and I don’t have enough very much space. Product dimensions are stated with a battery / batteries, if they affect the overall dimensions of the product. The 1650 Watt motor makes 4800 rotations per minute. It is powerful enough to increase the speed of the machine. That is why it makes you complete a task in a short period. Pinion fence rails Toolden Limited (Company number SC453454).

On tool storage holds commonly used accessories including: TCT saw blade, Rip fence, Miter gauge etc Taking the saw out of its box, with the exception of some fine-tuning to the blades set point, the only assembly required before the saw can be used is fitting the riving knife and clipping the blade guard into place. The Makita MLT100N 260mm Table Saw has a large machined aluminium table top for accurate cutting work and a precision rip fence provides increased accuracy. It is fitted with an electric brake and is doubled insulated for added user safety. Notwithstanding quite a few shortcomings I’m quite happy with mine. I’ve had it for 15 months and it hasn’t missed a beat.The Makita MLT100 is eye-catching with its blue color and branding. It replaced the Makita 2704 as it is cost-effective. The 960 x 690mm bed is significant as the main bed. The slide bed of aluminum makes it durable. Two pole slide system for raising and lowering blade for the most efficient and smoothest adjustment of the blade depth In cases where it is, however, you’ll be better off using a tool designed for making accurate miter cuts like the Metabo KGS 254 M. Who was this saw made for? Walking into a store the MLT 100 will definitely draw your attention. Largely covered in the brands signature blue, you don’t need to be a power tool connoisseur to be able to identify this saw from across a room as a Makita.

As a global supplier of a comprehensive range of tools for creating comfortable homes and living environments, Considering the cost-effective component of this saw’s development it’s no surprise that it is not without its flaws and while cutting is when you will notice most of them. The main feature of the Makita 2704 is the powerful 1650 Watt motor. It has high rigidity that makes accurate cutting possible. The table is extendable, and the fence gives you a large cutting board. It has easy scales that help you prepare your cutting pieces of equipment.

The fence of the Makita mlt100 has alignment problems, whereas the fence system of 2704 is accurate. Several features make the table saw accurate. The tabletop is super flat, which makes it precise. The T-slot miter gauge secures the workpiece. The rip fence is smooth and precise. Similarities Makita is known for making quality, professional grade, power tools but unfortunately for the likes of hobbyists, these come with a professional grade price tag. A price tag that is often not justifiable for the type of person that’s in the woodworking game for the love of it. Maby that’s why Makita decided to throw guys like us a bone by scaling down their design and building a saw that falls in our price range. The angle adjustment knob allows for adjustments to the blade angle in smaller increments making fine, accurate adjustments a simpler task. Cutting
