The Makita 5477NB is a corded 7-1/4 inch hypoid circular saw built for framing and heavy timber work. Its hypoid gear drive turns the blade at 4,500 rpm from a 15 amp motor, delivering more torque than a standard sidewinder and letting the blade sit deeper in the cut. It weighs about 14.3 lb, so it is heavier than most worm-drive saws and far heavier than a compact sidewinder, but it cuts through wet lumber, engineered beams and stacked stock with less bogging. Framers and remodelers who cut thick material all day are its natural buyers; casual DIYers will find it overbuilt and tiring to carry up ladders.
