Electric jigsaw with a mushroom-shaped handle from a reliable manufacturer of power tools company DeWALT. DeWALT DW343K successfully combines power and functionality with ease of use. Many craftsmen at home will appreciate the new model from the famous manufacturer DeWALT.
With this jigsaw, it is possible to make precise cuts of different configurations – straight, oblique, vertical and shaped.
Technical characteristics of the DW343K
The motor power of 550 W is enough to ensure that all types of cuts are made with high quality and neatness. The tool’s user-friendliness is enhanced by a quick clamp for securing the saw blades, which does not require any additional tools.
As with other models in this series, the jigsaw has DeWALT DW343K has a sturdy and rigid steel base plate. To make oblique cuts, the angle of the base plate can be tilted up to 45° to the right or left. A scale with graduations in degrees makes it easy to set the exact inclination.
Very useful for those who make or repair furniture and other materials with smooth surfaces is a special pad on the support sole, which prevents scratches on the work surface.
Precise cuts are made even easier with this model – a special roller prevents the saw blade from slipping to the side.
The problem of excessive accumulation of sawdust on the working surface while working with the jigsaw also does not arise. This is handled perfectly by the sawdust blowing system, which is supplemented by a low-profile protective screen and the possibility of connecting a vacuum cleaner during intensive sawing.
A clearly visible cutting line marked on the tool’s soleplate also helps the precision of the work.
Features of the DeWALT DW343K jigsaw
The jigsaw motor allows operation in the range of 650 to 3100 strokes per minute. The stroke is up to 20 mm and can be adjusted for cutting at different speeds.
The engine speed can be changed by varying the trigger force. For fast cutting, where accuracy is not very important, it is best to use the maximum value of the pendulum stroke of the saw blade. This value is adjusted with a special switch.
The power of the motor allows making cuts in wood up to 85 mm in depth, in various metals – 10-20 mm.
The DeWALT DW343K electric jigsaw features a streamlined, mushroom-shaped design. Special non-slip inserts increase comfort, ergonomics and safety and reduce vibration. The comfortable shape of the handle contributes to a secure grip on the jigsaw and eliminates fatigue even during prolonged work.
The low weight of 2 kg and the small size (250mm x 185mm) of the tool is also a good influence on the convenience of using the machine.
