Variable two-speed Makita too. Brushless motor: 0-2, 300 (low) and 0-3, 000 (high) strokes per minute and a 1-1/4″ Stroke length make cutting faster.
For faster blade installation and removal, a “tool-less” blade change system is used.
It has a variable speed trigger for extra convenience.
At just 17-1/4″ long, this is a small and easy-to-use design.
With the battery (the battery is not included), it only weighs 8.2 lbs.
Included are: 6″ 6TPI Recipro Saw Blade (723054-A-1. It’s just a tool (battery and charger not included.
Makes use of both Brushless motor technology and battery innovation in the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless reciprocating saw, which is made by Makita (tool only). It has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that adjusts torque and RPM to the job at hand, and it’s powered by the fastest-charging 18V Lithium-Ion batteries in the world, which charge in less than two hours (sold separately). In the case of Makita, users can stay in the same battery platform. They can use the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the XRJ05Z as they do on other Makita 18V LXT cordless tools to charge the batteries. The XRJ05Z has a lot of features that make cutting faster. Cutting efficiency is increased by the long 1-1/4″ stroke length, and the crank mechanism design is more refined. This reduces blade deflection and vibration. There is a retractable tool hook, a “tool-less” Blade Change, and an L.E.D. light to make it easier to see where you’re cutting.
GET IT. you never think you need it until you do. First, it stops the blades from getting bent. When you learn how to control the brushless motor’s power, you’ll be able to feel it speed up when the cutting gets tough, and it’ll rip through anything you throw at it. A good carbide metal bit on this machine with a 5ah battery will get you most of the way through a work day. This machine has a lot of power. There’s no wood that this thing can’t break through, and it’s now better than the corded metal ones. Buy four 5AH batteries and a dual charger if you need a tool to do your job. You’ll be way ahead of the guys who keep tripping over their extension cords, and you won’t have to worry about them.
