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.
Pros and cons
- 15 amp motor with 5,800 RPM for jobsite-grade cutting
- Two LED lights track the cutline for accuracy
- AC/DC switch allows alternative power sources
- All-ball-bearing build aimed at long motor life
- Included instruction booklet is thin on basic safety and operation for beginners
- Motor housing can interfere with a speed square used 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.
