The 5007MGA features a Makita-built 15 AMP industrial motor that delivers 5,800 RPM, combined with well-balanced magnesium components for a lighter weight saw that delivers true power the professional user demands. The saw has a large cutting capacity (2-1/2 inches at 90°) with a maximum bevel capacity of 56° and positive stops at 22.5° and 45° for quick back-and-forth changes. The 5007MGA includes an electric brake to stop the blade quickly for maximum productivity.

Ergonomic and Ease-of-Use
Features Magnesium components allowed Makita to engineer a saw with less weight (10.1 pounds) that is well-balanced and jobsite tough. Additional design details include greater clearance between the rear handle and the blade case to provide a better grip for larger hands or for users with gloves, as well as a wider space between the blade and housing for a clearer view of the blade and measurement scale. The saw features twin L.E.D. lights for better illumination, as well as ducting designed to blow dust away from the line of cut. Makita also engineered ergonomics and ease-of-use into the saw, including clearly visible depth and bevel markings and ergonomic hand grips to improve overall control while minimizing operator fatigue. The large rubberized levers provide quick, one-handed adjustments for more efficient work.

Includes Ultra-Coated Framing Blade
The 5007MGA includes a Makita 7-1/4-Inch Premium Ultra-Coated Framing Blade with Advance Tooth Design. The "M" shaped tooth design features a two-pointed tip and two 10° bevel faces to maximize cutting performance for a faster, cleaner and longer lasting cut. The carbide tips are specifically set to withstand the harshest conditions such as plowing through nail-embedded wood. The blade is also ultra-coated to reduce heat and pitch build-up for faster, smoother cutting, with special Makita heat vents strategically set to dissipate heat and increase performance. The 5007MGA also include a blade wrench attached to the saw for fast and convenient blade changing.

Engineered for a Range of Applications
The 5007MGA is built for framing walls, floors and roofs using a range of dimensional lumber and dense engineered lumber, including LVL, PSL and I-Joists, headers, and microlams; as well as ripping panels such as plywood, OSB, particle board, and dense structural panels. Other applications include plunge and bevel cutting, as well as masonry and metal cutting. The 5007MGA is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.

I must have gotten a lemon after reading all of ...
I must have gotten a lemon after reading all of the reviews because this has to be the biggest piece of junk I have ever bought. Unfortunately I can't return it as it has been past 30 days but I am just now getting to use it as I haven't had time previously. I'm not sure exactly what it is off but I can't get it to cut a 90degree cross cut for anything. It doesn't matter what I try using a carpenters square, a edge cutting guide or nothing.***update*** this update is long over due. I finally found the problem. It seems the motor wasn't mounted square with the edge of the base plate making straight cuts using a guide impossible. I was able to replace it, no thanks to Makita or Amazon, and the new saw is fantastic and a major workhorse in my shop. As with any new saw get you a good blade and this thing will eat through anything. Makitas customer support was very lacking hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
