Makita engineered the 7.25" circular saw (model 5007F) with professional framers in mind, combining power and performance with ease-of-use features, superior balance, and jobsite durability. Ideal for a range of framing and cutting applications. Powerful 15 amp motor and a high power-to-weight ratio, with all ball-bearing construction and a heavy-gauge aluminum wraparound base engineered for improved durability and straighter cuts. Makita engineered ease-of-use features into the saw with large and easy-to-read markings on the depth and bevel scales. Blade changes are more convenient with a flat motor housing design for increased stability when changing blades, with a conveniently located shaft lock for easy blade replacement. Visibility is improved with two built-in LED lights and a built-in dust blower engineered to clear the line of cut. The 5007F includes a Makita 24T general contractor framing blade for faster, cleaner cuts. The carbide tips are specifically set to withstand the harshest conditions, such as plowing through nail-embedded wood. The blade is designed with special Makita heat vents strategically placed to dissipate heat and increase cutting performance. The 5007F also includes a blade wrench attached to the saw for fast and convenient blade changing. Engineered for framing walls, siding, roofs, and floors using a range of dimensional and engineered lumber, including OSB, LVL, PSL, plywood, and more. It is ideal for framers, builders, masons, carpenters, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class circular saw.
