The new Makita 2712 site saw is a rugged table saw ideal for operation in many on-site situations.  Weighing just 54kg and fitted with two robust trolley wheels and carry handles, this saw can be easily manoeuvred around the working site.

The Makita 2712 features a 315mm 40T carbide tipped saw blade as standard but can be used with specific blades from the Makita accessory range. The blade will run up to 2,950rpm with no load. With the 315mm blade a maximum cutting depth of 85mm is available at 90° with 58mm cutting capacity at 45°. The bevel cutting angles range from 0° to 45°.

The rugged construction of both the frame and the table make the new Makita 2712 the ideal on-site machine. The pressed steel legs with bracing forms a stable stand whilst the main steel table measures 550mm x 800mm, and the useful extension table measures 400mm x 800mm. The maximum cutting width is 710mm. The blade is set 235mm from the left edge of the table which has a guide rule for the supplied rip fence.

Dust extraction has become a major requirement on construction sites for operator safety and the Makita 2712 has a built in dust extraction coupling that can easily be connected to a vacuum unit. This robust site saw is delivered complete with safety tools to push timber through the blade. It is available in either 110v or 240v mode.
