Like drills, 7 1/4" circular saws are widely considered a "standard" power tool that every power tool user should definitely own. It's no wonder either-no other type of saw is as versatile, quick, and accurate as a Circular saw. The wide variety of circular saw blades available makes the saw effective at cutting a wide range of materials.
That said, if you almost have to have a circular saw, why not make it a really nice one? May 24th's Tool of the Day is the Makita 5007MG Circular Saw. Click "read more" to find out more about this modern circular saw.
The Makita 5007MG 7 1/4" Circular Saw is a great example of modern
power tool design. It's built with magnesium components in order to
maximize durability while keeping weight modest (the 5007MG is just
over 10lbs). It's powerful 15amp motor delivers up to 2300 watts of
cutting power-more than sufficient for most tasks.
While the basic design of a circular saw has not changed much over the years, what has
changed is that now a major focus of tool manufacturers is to create a
tool that not only works well, but is enjoyable and comfortable to use.
Makita designed the 5007MG with the user experience in mind.
First off, it's very well balanced, which helps ensure accurate and
safe use. Rubberized grips make it comfortable to hold and reduce
fatigue. Large rubberized levers make quick adjustments a breeze.
An
integrated dust blower continually blows saw dust away from the work
are. This makes it easier to see the line of the cut, resulting in more
accurate cuts.
The 5007MG, like almost all new power tools,
features integrated LED lights. One LED illuminates your work area, and
another illuminates when the tool is plugged in, indicating the
presence of electricity.
Overall the Makita 5007MG is a great circular saw. Street pricing is $150.00
The Makita 5007MG is available from ToolKing.com and other fine tool retailers.
