A Makita-built Brushless motor and three orbital settings make this tool even more powerful. Plus, straight cutting makes it easier and faster to cut a wide range of materials.
Users can adjust the speed with a variable 5-speed dial that goes from 800 to 3000 SPM.
Soft start slows down the start-up reaction for better accuracy.
The no-load speed reduction feature automatically slows down SPM so that cutting starts are more precise.
A powerful BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to make the most of battery power for up to 50% more run time per charge.
The Makita 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Barrel Grip Jig Saw (VJ05Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) is small and lightweight, making it easy to use and move around. It cuts quickly and efficiently. The VJ05Z has a barrel grip design for cutting close to the work. It’s great for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, remodelers, and general contractors. The Makita 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries are better for balance and ergonomics than pod-style batteries. The batteries also have an on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator (batteries sold separately). The VJ05Z is small and easy to hold, and it doesn’t have a lot of weight (only 3.9 lbs. with 12V max CXT 2.0Ah battery, sold separately). The efficient Makita-built brushless motor is designed for longer run times, more power and speed, and longer tool life. It’s also more powerful and runs faster. This tool has a variable 5-speed control dial that can go from 800 to 3,000 RPM. It also has 3 orbital settings and a straight-cutting option for even more versatility. The soft start reduces the start-up reaction for better accuracy, and the no-load speed reduction feature automatically slows down the speed when there is no load on the machine. It has “tool-free” blade changes, a large two-finger variable speed trigger with a lock-on button, two LED lights, and a built-in dust blower to clear the line of cut. All 12V max CXT cordless tools are also compatible with the 12V max CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery. This battery will give you more run time for longer (BL1041B, sold separately). 12V max CXT lithium-ion batteries are made with a Battery Protection Circuit that protects against overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating. This circuit is built into the batteries. It’s part of the growing 12V max CXT series, which combines high performance with great ergonomics in a small package.
To have a cordless jigsaw with the Collins cutting foot, I bought this one. There’s a jigsaw that fits the COLLINS COOKING FOO.
We do a lot of trim work, and this jigsaw is perfect for the job.
Easy to hold, LED lights.
