Our verdict

A heavier but durable corded framing saw that buyers keep for decades, worth choosing over cordless options when jobsite cutting depth and all-day reliability matter more than weight.

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

Pros
  • 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
Cons
  • 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.
