Makita 4329 / 1 jigsaw — specs & overview

The Makita 4329 / 1 is a corded jigsaw designed for stationary or handheld cutting tasks. It operates on a 450W motor that provides consistent power through a standard mains connection. This model features a stroke length of 18.0 mm to manage material removal during operation. Users can adjust the speed between a minimum of 500 and a maximum of 3100 strokes per minute.

Speed control allows for different material types. Because you can vary the stroke rate, you can select slower speeds for harder metals or faster rates for soft timber.

The tool uses a Bayonet Fitting system for blade changes. This mechanism ensures that blades stay secure during heavy-duty cutting in wood up to 65 mm thick. It also handles steel cuts with a maximum thickness of 6 mm. At 1.9 kg, the unit is light enough for extended use without excessive fatigue.

Strengths

• The 450W motor provides sufficient power for deep wood cuts reaching 65 mm.
• Variable speed settings ranging from 500 to 3100 strokes per minute offer versatility across different materials.
• A Bayonet Fitting system allows for quick and secure blade swaps during a project.

Things to consider

• The 6 mm limit for steel means it is not intended for thick metal plate work.
• As a corded tool, you must remain near a power outlet for continuous operation.

Who it's for
