Cutting Speed has been increased by 25% “1.5-1/2-inch polyvinyl chloride pip.
In conjunction with a 1/2 inch shaft, the variable speed motor delivers 0-3,300 strokes per minute “lengthening the stroke in order to provide faster cuttin.
The on/off switch has two positions, one for paddle switch operation and the other for trigger switch operation. This is a Makita exclusive.
Because it is “tool-less,” the blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal, resulting in greater productivity.
At 14 inches, the design is compact and ergonomic “a long tim.
In addition to PVC and ABS pipe, EMT, drywall, wood, and other materials, the Makita 12V max Lithium-Ion Cordless Recipro Saw (model RJ01ZW) is a powerful and compact solution for cutting applications such as drywall, wood, and other materials. A unique feature offered only by Makita is the dual-position trigger, which allows the end user to select either the paddle switch or the traditional trigger switch grip depending on the application for maximum control during the cut as well as greater versatility. This model has a variable speed motor that can go from 0-3,300 strokes-per-minute and has a 1/2 inch shaft “lengthening the stroke to allow for faster cuttin. Increased productivity is achieved through the use of the “tool-less” blade change system, which allows for faster blade installation and removal. The small footprint (14 x 14 x 14) “It is designed to be operated with one hand and is only 2.6 lbs. long and 2.6 lbs. The RJ01W is powered by a Makita Lithium-Ion battery with a maximum voltage of 12V. This model is sold as a BARE TOOL, meaning it comes without a charger or battery.
So far, everything is going well. It rips through plastic and thin metal with little effort. I just used it yesterday with a full-size blade and made three cuts through two sheets of paper “It was made of stainless steel exhaust tubing, and it worked perfectly. The battery was almost completely depleted by that point, but that’s no big deal because they recharge quickly.
As a result, it takes significantly longer to cut through thicker materials than full-sized reciprocating saws. Nonetheless, it did eventually work and produced a surprisingly clean cut after a few attempts. Normally, I would have dug out the full-sized recipe for this job, but I wanted to see if my little guy here could handle it, and he did an excellent job.
If you only need a reciprocating saw for light duty cutting (plastic, small diameter pipes, thin metal), this should be sufficient for your needs. However, if your primary need for a reciprocating saw is to cut exhaust pipes, I would not recommend this as your primary tool.
Originally, I was going to give it four stars because of its limitations, but after thinking about it, I realized that I didn’t purchase it for heavy-duty jobs, and I was pleasantly surprised that it “made the cut” (har, har, ok, I’ll leave it at that) so.. FIVE STARS IT IS. I adore my Makita tools, which are both white and black.
