Makita 4350FCT/2 jigsaw — specs & overview

The Makita 4350FCT/2 is a corded jigsaw designed for heavy-duty cutting tasks. It operates on a 720W motor that provides consistent power during long work sessions. This model features an adjustable pendulum action to assist with faster material removal. Users can change the stroke speed between 800 and 2800 strokes per minute.

The tool weighs 2.7kg.

This weight offers a balance for controlled movement while maintaining enough heft to keep the blade steady in thick timber. The Bayonet fitting system allows for quick blade changes without needing extra tools. You can cut through wood up to 135mm thick or steel up to 10mm deep. These capacities make it suitable for various construction and metalworking projects.

Strengths

• High cutting capacity in wood reaches 135mm due to the 26.0mm stroke length.
• Variable speed control ranges from 800 to 2800 strokes per minute for different materials.
• Pendulum action setting helps increase the speed of cuts through thicker wood.

Things to consider

• The 720W motor requires a mains power connection, which limits cord reach.
• Steel cutting is limited to a maximum depth of 10mm.

Who it's for

This jigsaw suits tradespeople who need a reliable tool for deep timber cuts and light metalwork. It works well in workshops where consistent power from a wall outlet is available.
