Flex JS 18 jigsaw — specs & overview

The Flex JS 18 is a cordless jigsaw designed for mobile job sites. It operates on an 18V battery platform. This voltage provides the necessary power for various cutting tasks without being tethered to a wall outlet. The tool features a maximum stroke rate of 35,000 strokes per minute.

High speed allows for faster work. A 4.0 mm stroke length helps maintain steady momentum through different materials. Because it includes orbital or pendulum action, you can adjust how aggressively the blade moves to suit your specific cut requirements.

The machine weighs 2.1 kg. This weight offers a balance between stability and portability during extended use. Users can switch between standard and pendulum modes to manage the speed of the cut against the resistance of the material.

• High-speed performance with up to 35,000 strokes per minute for rapid cutting.
