Makita 4350CT/1 jigsaw — specs & overview

The Makita 4350CT/1 is a corded jigsaw designed for stationary or handheld cutting tasks. It runs on a 720W motor that provides consistent power from a mains connection. This electrical setup avoids the downtime associated with battery charging during long work sessions. The tool uses a bayonet fitting system to secure blades in place.

The machine offers variable speed control ranging from 800 to 2800 strokes per minute. You can adjust these speeds depending on whether you are cutting through soft wood or harder materials like steel. A stroke length of 26.0mm allows for efficient movement through thick stock. It handles wood up to 135mm deep and steel up to 10mm.

Weight is a factor here. At 2.6kg, the unit stays stable on a workbench while remaining light enough for single-handed use.
