Makita 5007F 7-1/4" Circular Saw

Overview

The Makita 5007F is a corded 7-1/4 inch circular saw with a 15 amp motor spinning at 5,800 RPM, built for framers and jobsite cutting rather than light DIY use.

This is Makita's long-running corded framing saw, cutting up to 2-3/8 inches at 90 degrees and 1-3/4 inches at 45 degrees, with two built-in LED lights aimed at the cutline and an AC/DC switch that lets it run from alternative power sources on a jobsite.

• 15 amp motor, 5,800 RPM
• 2-3/8 inch cutting depth at 90 degrees
• Two built-in LED cutline lights
• AC/DC power switch

Who it's for

Fits framers, builders, masons and siding contractors who want a corded saw with the cutting depth and durability for daily jobsite use, more than occasional home DIY.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Long-time owners consistently praise how long the motor lasts, several reporting Makita saws from this line still running after decades of heavy use, and call the cut smooth and accurate compared to other saws they own. The main complaints are aimed at beginners: one novice found the included instruction booklet unhelpful for basic safety and operating questions and had to learn from online videos, and another warned that the saw's heavier weight and motor housing can get in the way when using a speed square as a cutting guide.

Performance notes

The 15 amp motor spins the blade at 5,800 RPM, and all-ball-bearing construction plus a heavy aluminum wraparound base are built to hold up under repeated jobsite use rather than occasional cuts. Two LED lights track the cutline for accuracy, and a shaft lock speeds up blade changes.
