Makita. Two pounds were shaved off the 7¼-inch 5377MG Magnesium Hypoid Saw by incorporating highly durable magnesium components. The saw features a 15-amp motor, improved ergonomics, and a 2 3/8-inch cutting capacity at 90 degrees. The hypoid gearing system allows more power to be transferred over a wider surface, providing increased power and durability compared with worm-drive gears. The hypoid gears are sealed in an oil bath so they never need maintenance, the maker says. 800.462.5482. www.makitatools.com.
