Versatile, lightweight, and super-compact, this 3-3/8-inch cordless circular saw is the perfect cordless tool for cutting tasks too big for the handsaw yet too small for a standard circular saw. Great for cutting sheets, trim, rows of dowels, flooring, you name it, this saw handles anything from remodeling in tight quarters to trimming down material for craftwork. The kit includes the battery and charger so you're up and running out of the box.
The saw features a tilting base for bevel cutting up to 45 degrees. A no-load speed of 1,000 rpm's means this handy little 3-3/8-inch saw gets the cutting done quickly. The saw is just over a foot long and weighs just 4 pounds for easy handling in tight quarters and at awkward angles. An adjustable cutting depth to 55/65 inches at 90 degrees and 45/64 inches at 45 degrees lets you take on a wide variety of tasks. A blade lock prevents slippage and offers faster blade changes. A comfortable, non-slip grip ensures better control. And, with the optional diamond wheel and water supply kit (sold separately), this saw cuts tile and glass. Your purchase includes the combination blade, hex wrench, battery, and charger. --Brian D. Olson

Handy tool:
Bought this as a replacement for one I wore out after many, many years of service. Handy for lots of small jobs, from sheetrock cutouts to shingling sidewalls. Be aware of the kick-back it is pretty strong. All the controls for adjustments are easy to use.
Super little tool!:
I'm a 75 year old widow and I still enjoy repairing things around my house. My old circular was just too heavy, so I purchased the cordless circular saw and I just love it. I love not having a cord to worry about or tripping over. LOL..at this age I sometimes forget those important things that could prove a danger to me. So now my steps (5) are looking good. Thanks Makita. I also used my Makita cordless drill to put in the screws. No strength left for hammering nails into those boards.
High tork Low Rpm:
I am a 11 year carpenter and currently installing high end kitchens (60 to 200K). I Purchased the 5090DW mostly for cutting access panels, outlet holes and other misc. cutouts, especially in tight areas. After using the tool for several weeks I'm mostly pleased. I instanty threw out the blade that came with it and spent $15 on a carbide tipped blade which improved performance considerably but...... The saw has good tork, however rpm is way low. plunge cutting has to be done slow or the saw will kick back.... more info
Works fine, battery lasts a long time!!!!:
I bought this saw for all of those little quick cutoff jobs like the stakes for bender board, cutting up yard debris, etc. For what I got it for, the saw is PERFECT!
