Editor's Review: A Big Circular Saw for Timber Framers

by Bill Cadley review date: September 1, 2009

Makita's 5402NA is a big circular saw with a 16 5/16-in. diameter blade and can cut 6 1/4 inc. at 90 degrees. The electric brake improves safety, and there's an extra handle mounted on the body for more control. The saw sells for about $650.
