Makita 5008MGA 8-1/4-Inch Magnesium Circular Saw with Electric Brake and Two Built-In LED Lights
The Makita 8-1/4-Inch Magnesium Circular Saw with Electric
Brake features highly durable magnesium components and a powerful 15 AMP
Makita-built industrial motor, powerful enough to cut through the densest
lumber. The 5008MGA balances weight, power, durability, and ease of use with a
3-inch 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 5008MGA features a Makita-built 15 AMP industrial motor that delivers
5200 RPM, combined with well-balanced magnesium components for a lighter-weight
saw that delivers the true power the professional user demands. The saw has a
large cutting capacity (3-inch at 90-degree) with a maximum bevel capacity of
50-degree and positive stops at 22.5 and 45- degrees for quick back-and-forth
changes. The 5008MGA includes an electric brake to stop the blade quickly for
maximum productivity, as well as 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 lb) 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 LED 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.
Engineered for a Range of Applications
The 5008MGA 8-1/4-Inch 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.
Technology
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 sheets and
dimensional lumber.
