There is a Makita 2703 Table Saw for sale locally. It appears to be very well taken care of, only used for hobby woodworking, and has all parts and accessories. I have researched past comments on several sites with the full range from a piece of crap to a wonderful piece of equipment. Someone mentioned no room for dado but a dado kit is included in sale. $350 asking price on Craigslist. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Forgot to mention several reviews were critical of the fence and bled guard. -
Sorry, no knowledge of that model.
what are you lacking to make your BT3 whole. Is everything working motor and height and bevel and rip fence? Should take a lot less than $350 to make it go if those are ok.Last edited by LCHIEN; 02-13-2021, 02:11 AM.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Point taken. Miter setup and guard are all I know. I am just waiting on some responses on availability of replacements for those items. Shark Guard looks good and I have an inquiry into them. So I took a look around at other options and the Makita came up. In the meantime I saw complaints about its guard and fence so, if true, that would also require more mods.
Thanks for good pertinent input. Keeping this old guy on track.Comment
