Makita 4329/2 240V Orbital Action Jigsaw

Product Information

I came across a Makita 18v drill some years ago and it was well used when I obtained it. A couple of new batteries later and I carried on using it in places I didn't really fancy using a power drill in the event that drill snagged and twisted the power drill out of my hand like if I'm up a ladder. The Makita 4329 saw is a power tool designed for cutting various materials with precision and efficiency. With an output power of 450 W, this saw delivers a powerful performance, making it suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks. Over the years I've always stayed away from named products like Makita, Dewalt and other big named tools due to the excess they charge for there products. I love the Makita brand but I'm also warming to the Dewalt brand as well as I have some of there gear too. That actual drill died it's death about 2yrs ago but not before I had the chance to buy another two cordless hammer/drill/screw driver units and then eventually a Makita jigsaw and circular saw.

Blade change is simple with a single hex screw fastening with the hex wrench stored in the machine handle The Makita 4329 Jigsaw is ideally suited for light duty activities and will appeal to both the professional and the serious DIY enthusiasts. Incorporating a counterweight balancing system, which reduces vibration, the 4329 can be used for long periods without operator fatigue occurring. A sliding dust cover improves dust collection and prevents the scattering of chips. Fitted with a smooth rigid aluminium base which is rustproof and glides over the workpiece. Bevel cutting up to 45 degrees left or right is also possible with the tiltable base. This is a straight-up useful tool that works as a reciprocating saw. The gadget is simple, and equipped with the following features: Electronic stroke control and a soft grip. The power of the device is 450 Watts, with a cord that plugs in to the mains. The operating voltage is 230 V, which is perfect to process wood and metal. Tech SpecsVariable speed control – This feature allows you to match the speed of the speed to the material you are cutting for consistent top quality cuts all the time. Chip deflector – This tool was made with tradesmen in mind because the manufacturers know that chips will fly whenever one is working with a jigsaw. The addition of a chip deflector is a very clever touch from the Makita and acts as a safety feature that protects you when chips are flying all over the place. Absence of LED light – The only downside of this tool is it doesn’t have a LED light meaning you can use it in a poorly lit or dim room. You will need to buy a lamp or have some sort of light in the area you are working to be able to use it in the dark.

If it is a fine cut in wood or a straight one in plaster you're looking for without going as heavy as a circular saw, the jigsaw is a practical tool when it comes to carrying out simple work. Depending on the material to be processed, the product range also offers the right accessories, in addition to the machines themselves. For example, there are many different saw blades that can be used, just like with sanders & grinders. The differences in the sawblades are mostly size, width and coarseness of the prongs. A perennial example of this is the Makita 4329, which is always a popular choice. But how is it measuring up? Makita 4329 - The LowdownWould I recommend it?
