What is the difference between Makitas old table saw guard system, and the new guard system on the 2705?
The new 2705 10″ table saw has a new “tool-less” modular blade guard system with an adjustable riving knife. The new system provides two independent stow-able anti-kick back pawls and two adjustable dual side guards that allow for easy measurements from both sides of the blade. The new riving knife also offers three positions: through, non-through and dado cuts.
