Light and durable 
2002-05-08
the makita 7-1/4" saw is what i have been using for about 3 years.its my favorite saw over the 3 other brands we have to choose from in the job trailer.it has some draw backs like it only has up to 45 degrees of bevel. and the deck supports can "with a little ruff use" knock the bevel gauge outa wack.and in about 10 months of every day work will loosen the blade shaft.the deck adjustment lever tends to loosen but can it self be readjusted "try a little extra tightening".still its so light that its easier to make a good cut and it wont wear you out to soon. its a good saw.
A little underpowered? 2007-05-29

This is a very nice saw. Only complaint is that it may be a little underpowered.
Good value 2007-05-15
Pros:
Solid construction
Lots of power
Cons:
Miter scale hard to read
Indexing guide on base plate is not accurate (watch the blade relative to the cut line).
Brake is inconsistent.
The best I have ever worked with 
2003-11-16
The Makita 5007 FAK is the best standard circular saw I have ever worked with. I love the electric brake because for me the sooner the blade stops the better. It is light-weight compared to a lot of the other saws I have tried or used before. The best part about this saw in particular is the light. I can't count the number of times we have been out on the job sight and this has come in handy. It may cost a little more than some saws, but it is worth it for someone who uses a saw five or six days a week! Nice carring case too.
Great saw 2003-07-24
OK, I admit it. I'm a circular saw junkie. I have just about every one currently on the market. And other than the Bosch with wormdrive and the Porter trim saw, this is my favorite saw. And for general use, this is the saw I reach for the most often. I just built a hutch compound for some of my animals with my Makita and I hated when the project was done. I wanted to keep sawing. This saw is light and durable and when paired with the DeWalt blades, it is amazing to use. As to the bevel limitations, they have never become an issue with this saw. I just use a miter saw or a trim saw for angles over 45 degrees.
