    I've got the 5007MGK -185MM CIRCULAR SAW Matika.
    Used it to cut redgum/jarrah/blackbutt at near maximal depth without too much challenge. Def. i'm happy with it.
    Thing I don't like is lack of dust extraction.

    Makita 9 1/4 bought sometime in the mid 70's - bullet proof.

    Only problem I have had is that the base plate went rusty and would not slide as easily as I would like it to do. Solution was to remove it, "pickle it" in vinegar for 48 hours, scrub it with a wire brush and then paint it with silverfrost. Never been a problem since except that you can no longer get silverfrost so if it ever needs doing again I'll have to find another coating.

    Regards,
    Bob

    Makita 6 1/4, Makita & Hitachi 7 1/4, Festool 7 1/4, Hitachi 8 1/4.
    I prefer Hitachi saws - the 7 1/4 & 8 1/4 get an equal amount of work..

    The big Triton's my main user; I had a small 7¼ B&D but it also let the magic black smoke out.

    I'm looking at replacing the B&D with a battery model, as the Triton's too damned heavy to use overhead for long. eg. trimming fences.

    (Looking, as in: "it's on my wish list but ain't happening soon.". )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Thumbs up

    Have an Hitachi 91/4 that is about 35 years old.

    If I was ever to replace it I would get the new Hitachi.
