Most models also come with variable speed settings for increased versatility and better precision across a wide range of jobs. After doing some careful research and speaking with fellow contractors, I ended up purchasing the Makita DJV182Z Jigsaw. This cordless model from a great brand caught my attention thanks to the initial specifications, which I found impressive at first sight. I have listed them below in this table for your information as well. Tool-less blade change is virtually a requirement on modern jigsaws, and it’s present on the DJV181, more on that later, along with the new dust extraction pipe. Now, the obvious benefits of the DJV181and DJV182 running off brushless motors are simple but compelling;

DJV181Z 18V LXT runko - K-Rauta Akkupistosaha Makita DJV181Z 18V LXT runko - K-Rauta

Makita DJV181Z 18 Volt LXT Brushless Lithium-Ion Cordless Jigsaw with Barrel Grip, Tool-less Blade Change and Built in Job Light. Body Only.The Makita DJV181 has been developed as the first barrel handle type cordless jigsaw powered by Li-ion batteries. Box Contents: Tukeva alumiininen sahapöytä on kallistettavissa 45 astetta vasemmalle ja oikealle puolelle. Sahapöydän alapinta on terästä ja mukana tulee muovinen pohjalevyn päällinen, joka suojaa herkkiä pintoja naarmuuntumiselta. Sahan kädensijassa on liukumaton kumipinnoite, josta saa hyvän ja tukevan otteen. DJV181-pistosahassa on kirkas led-valo, joka valaisee sahauslinjan tarkan lopputuloksen varmistamiseksi. Purunpoistotoiminto ohjaa sahauspölyn pois sahauslinjasta ja helpottaa sahaamista. Terän pikakiinnitys nopeuttaa työntekoa, sillä teränvaihtoon ei kulu turhaan aikaa. Terä kiinnitetään yksinkertaisesti työntämällä terä paikoilleen. Irrotus taas tapahtuu kätevästi vipua kääntämällä, jolloin jousi työntää terän irti.Sahassa on suora runko ja 3-asentoinen heiluritoiminto, jolla voi säätää sahaustehon sopivaksi työstettävän kohteen mukaan: mitä enemmän heiluria, sitä nopeampi sahaus mutta vastaavasti repivämpi sahausjälki koneen puolella.

Another great tool in the new CXT range works as described and has plenty of power.

It also has 3 orbital settings to increase its versatility in various applications. All the same features found on the DJV181 are in place, including the 3 stage orbital action and the adjustable aluminium base plate with protective cover (use the supplied allen key to loosen the plate to then select the angle of bevel).

Which Cordless Makita Jigsaw do I need in my kit and why?

A unique feature of this jigsaw by Makita, the soft no load system allows users to conserve battery when the machine is not in operation. When the sensor detects little to no resistance on the blade, the motor speed is automatically turned down. The soft no-load feature seemed to be a clever feature at first. However, this negatively affected cutting performance, especially for lighter materials. The reduced resistance forced the machine to slow down, drastically increasing the cutting time. Thankfully, I was able to find a way to deactivate this feature eventually. The large D-shaped top handle design allows users to comfortably move the device around. The anti-slip rubber pimples ensure the user has a proper grip and also minimizes the vibration felt by the user. Read on as I give you a great idea about the product and its performance to help you understand if it meets your requirements and expectations.Makita DJV181Z 18V LXT BL Jigsaw Bare Unit The Makita DJV181Z LXT 18v Jigsaw Bare Unit is an impressive tool with a brushless motor and an enhanced dust extraction hose joint. The aluminium base is rigid and bevels from 0 to 45 degrees, both left and right. As a result, one can operate the machine with precision for longer periods of time, ensuring a better quality of cuts in the process. The base of the machine is made of heavy gauge aluminum that helps absorb vibrations due to the cutting actions of the blade. It also helps increase the stability of the machine while in operation, increasing the accuracy of the work as a result. It is important to have the shoe made of heavy and high-quality materials like die-cast aluminum, magnesium, and steel to ensure a comfortable user experience and improved cutting quality.
