Bought this to replace an old Skillsaw that had given out after 15 years of use. I have used saws from Skill, Dewalt, Craftsman, Bosch and Ryobi; this is the lightest nicest handling, smoothest circular saw I have had my hands on. It did require a short break in, it sounded a little rough when brand new, kind of a grinding sound, but that when away after about a day of use. It has great torque and maintains good speed even when sawing through hardwoods and wet wood.

Not like the made in Japan original; CHEAP Chinese quality didnt work right out of the box!
I went into business as a professional contractor in 1993 and bought the first design of this saw 5077B in May of 1992. I used the heck out of it until March 2017 when the gear started to slip. Sadly Makita discontinued the parts for it so I figured I got my moneys worth and would buy a new saw. After all with this kind of lifespan I probably would retire and it would still be working so the $275 was a relative bargain. NO SUCH LUCK! Right out of the box you could tell it was cheaply made. Looked like some kind of transformers toy with chrome trim pieces, black rubber grips blue rubber levers, and an oddly shaped top handle. All the adjusting levers were rubber coated which are sure to tear after a few days on a jobsite. The trigger has a guard so if you plan on working outside in the cold and need to wear gloves youre going to have to cut a finger off your trigger hand glove or youre not going to be able to use it unless you have tiny hands. I tried it on a few pieces of ply and 3" thick LVL and either the brake didnt work. Makita said to use it more to burn it in but it didnt work after 15 minutes of use. NEVER had a problem with the 5077B other than replacing the cord about 10 times from yearly wear. Maybe you will be happy with it if you never used the old Makita but after 24 years of using the old model I cant see why they would make it so cheap. The Made in China on the label pretty much sums it up. Might be good for occasional work but I doubt it would last a year on my job and at that price I wasnt willing to gamble. Makita got it back the next day and I bought a Skil. It too is made in China but is much beefier than this toy. Been using the Skil for 3 months and I'm glad I sent this back. Almost all my tools are Maikta but they are now breaking and I'm switching to Festool (who doesnt make a wormdrive) TERRIBLE move to go to China Makita; you lost a loyal customer and I wont be returning until you go back to making them with QUALITY in Japan!

Solid saw
Nice saw, easy to use, plenty of power, adjustments can be made quickly. The degree selector knob is a little loose, snd the power cord could be of better quality. Be nice if it came with a rip fence also

Everything you could ask for in a circular saw.
Great power and accuracy for all framing projects. The saw handles well and does not slow down when cutting knots or rough grain, zero deflection under load makes this saw perfect. Dimensions are slightly larger and heavier than a traditional circular saw but the pros significantly outweigh the cons.

Substantial upgrade
I was using a relatively inexpensive sidewinder with the blade on the right. It was awkward and underpowered compared with this thing. The Makita feels built to last and chews right through stuff that would’ve been a headache before. Would absolutely buy again.
