SAW CIRCLULAR 8-1/4" 5/8"7.9A 1800W MAGNESIUM

Magnesium Framers and carpenters need cutting solutions with power and performance -- not extra weight. Makita circular saws with Magnesium components are engineered for less weight with superior balance and durability. Magnesium circular saws deliver consistent performance with less weight for cutting sheet and dimensional lumber.

Product Description

The Makita 8-1/4" Magnesium Circular Saw features highly durable magnesium components and a powerful 7.9 AMP Makita-built industrial motor; powerful enough to cut through the densest lumber. The 5008MG balances weight; power; durability; and ease of use with a 3" maximum cutting capacity; making it perfect for framers; roofers; as well as general contractors who require a best-in-class engineered circular saw.

Makita-Built Motor Engineered for Versatile Power
The 5008MG features a Makita-built 7.9 AMP industrial motor that delivers 5;200 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 (3" at 90*) with a maximum bevel capacity of 50* and positive stops at 22.5* and 45* for quick back-and-forth changes. The 5008MG includes a premium carbide-tipped blade and a blade wrench attached to the saw for fast and convenient blade changing.

Ergonomic and Ease-of-Use Features
Magnesium components allowed Makita to engineer a saw with less weight (11.4 lbs.) 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 a 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.

Engineered for a Range of Applications
The 5008MG 8-1/4"Circular Saw is built for framing walls; floors and roofs using a range of dimensional lumber and dense engineered lumber; including LVL; Parallam and I-Joists; headers and microlams; as well as ripping panels such as plywood; OSB; particle board; and dense structural panels like Advantech. Other applications include plunge cutting; pocket cutting; bevel cutting; masonry and metal cutting.
