Makita 5007mgk circular saw

jeudi 21 mai 2015

First post for me and glad I've found this forum.

Getting a bit interested in buying a Makita 5007MGK saw but have a question if someone can help me.
I notice that the cast base plate is not a complete rectangle but has a tapered off section near the depth adjust lever.
The taper is maybe 40 degrees or so, over a length of about 50mm.
What is the purpose of this tapered section and more importantly does it affect the stability of the saw when guiding against a straight edge.
Actually I have also observed this on other saws including the Makita 5007mk and the Milwaukee SC60
Why do they make them this way?

Apart from that, is it a good saw??
