Makita 7-1/4" Circular Saw

When you need to rip a sheet of plywood or crosscut a 2x12, there is no substitute. Makita's magnesium-body circular saws have been the contractor benchmark for decades — lighter than competitors at under 11 pounds, with a 5,800 RPM motor that cuts through pressure-treated lumber like butter. The 7-1/4" blade size is the sweet spot: big enough for framing, portable enough for job-site carry. Every home project that involves cutting wood eventually demands one.
