Milwaukee M12FJS-0 FUEL jigsaw — specs & overview

The Milwaukee M12FJS-0 FUEL is a cordless jigsaw powered by a 12V battery system. It uses a brushless motor to drive the blade up to 3500 strokes per minute. This high speed helps maintain steady cutting momentum during various tasks. The tool weighs 1.5 kg.

This weight makes the unit easy to handle for extended periods. You can achieve a maximum wood cut depth of 70 mm or slice through steel up to 3 mm thick. A 22.0 mm stroke length provides sufficient movement for deep, vertical cuts in thicker materials. The universal blade fitting allows you to use different brands of blades without specialized adapters.

Strengths

• The brushless motor increases efficiency and extends the runtime provided by your M12 batteries.
• A maximum cutting capacity of 70 mm in wood supports significant carpentry projects.
• Universal blade fittings offer flexibility when selecting specific saw blades for different materials.
• High speed reaches 3500 strokes per minute for faster material removal.

Things to consider

• The 3 mm limit for steel cuts restricts this tool to thinner metal sheets rather than heavy structural steel.

Who it's for
