The Makita 7-1/4 in magnesium hypoid saw features highly durable magnesium components and a powerful 15 A Makita-built industrial motor with a hypoid gearing system for maximum power output. The 5377MG seamlessly balances weight, power, durability and ease-of-use for optimum cutting performance. The 15 A industrial motor delivers 4500 rpm, combined with well-balanced magnesium components for a lighter weight saw that delivers true-power, the professional user demands. Users will benefit from the precision-machined hypoid gears, which deliver more constant power than worm drive gears. Hypoid gears have greater surface contact so more power is transferred over a wider surface, providing increased power and durability. In addition, hypoid gears are in an oil bath for consistent oil coverage. The saw has a large cutting capacity of 2-3/8 in at 90 deg with a maximum bevel capacity of 51.5 deg and positive stops at 22.5, 45 and 51.5 deg for quick back-and-forth changes.
