7-1/4" Mag Hypoid Saw - Makita

The Makita 5377MG 7-1/4" Mag Hypoid Saw is engineered for demanding cutting tasks encountered by professional carpenters and general contractors. Its robust design integrates a powerful 15 AMP motor with lightweight magnesium components, ensuring both efficient performance and reduced user fatigue during continuous operation on the job site.

Key Features

• Hypoid Gear System: Features an advanced oil bath and heat-treated steel hypoid gear system that optimizes power transmission from the 15 AMP motor to the blade. This design ensures efficient cuts through dense materials and offers an extended tool lifespan compared to traditional worm drive saws.
• Lightweight Magnesium Construction: Key components are crafted from magnesium, contributing to an overall weight of 13.2 lbs. This design minimizes user fatigue during prolonged use and overhead applications, enhancing productivity without compromising structural integrity.
• 7-1/4" Blade Capacity: The standard 7-1/4 inch blade allows for deep and precise cuts, providing a substantial cutting capacity of 2-3/8" at 90°. This enables effective processing of common dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and various building materials.
• Adjustable Settings: Easily adjustable bevel and depth settings provide versatility for diverse cutting requirements. The saw offers a maximum bevel capacity of 51.5° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, and 51.5° for quick and accurate adjustments.
• Electric Brake: An integrated electric brake quickly stops the blade upon trigger release, enhancing operator safety and improving job site productivity by reducing downtime between cuts.
