Makita Jigsaw Range

Built for professional carpenters, kitchen fitters, and dedicated DIYers who demand precision and control in intricate woodworking. Upgrading to a new Makita Jigsaw solves the problem of blade deflection and rough, splintered edges during complex curved cuts. Best for detailed scribing, sink cutouts, and custom shaping, our collection features top-tier models with advanced pendulum actions to ensure smooth operation through thick, dense materials.

Why Choose a Makita Cordless Jigsaw?

When you invest in a Makita Cordless Jigsaw, you are securing a tool engineered for minimal vibration and maximum accuracy. These saws feature rigid die-cast aluminum bases and soft-start technology, solving the frustration of the blade jumping at the start of a cut and ensuring total control when tracing tight, difficult curves.

The Versatility of a Makita Jigsaw 18v

Operating a Makita Jigsaw 18v gives you the freedom to move around large sheet materials without a trailing power cord catching on the edge of your workpiece. Powered by the industry-leading LXT battery platform, these models deliver the consistently high stroke rate needed for clean, burn-free cuts in MDF, plywood, and solid hardwoods.

Upgrading to a Jigsaw Makita

Transitioning to a Jigsaw Makita eliminates trip hazards on busy building sites and drastically speeds up your workflow. With features like tool-less blade change systems and built-in dust blowers to keep your cutting line perfectly clear, these cordless units rival the continuous power and torque of traditional mains-operated saws.

Getting Maximum Value with a Makita 18v Jigsaw bare Unit

If you already own compatible 18V LXT batteries and a charger, purchasing a Makita 18v Jigsaw bare unit is the most cost-effective way to expand your toolkit. You get all the premium brushless technology, variable speed triggers, and robust build quality without paying extra for redundant power sources you already have sitting in your van.

Makita Jigsaws FAQs

What is the best Makita cordless jigsaw?

The best Makita Jigsaw depends on how demanding your work is. For everyday cutting and general site use, 18V LXT models offer excellent balance and control. If you regularly cut thicker materials or want maximum power and runtime, the 40V XGT jigsaws are designed for heavier workloads and professional use.




How do you use it properly?

Using the jigsaw is simple - fit the correct T-shank blade, select a speed suitable for your material, and guide the saw steadily along your cut line. Many Makita models feature variable speed and orbital settings, allowing you to adjust for cleaner cuts in timber or more controlled cutting in sheet materials.




What type of blade does a Makita jigsaw use?

Makita jigsaws use T-shank blades, which are quick to change and widely available. Different blade types are designed for wood, metal, plastics, and fine finishing, so choosing the right blade makes a noticeable difference to cut quality and performance.
