The listed models of electric jigsaws are designed to perform particularly heavy and time-consuming work on sawing various materials. Let’s name the main advantageous features of each model.
Features of powerful electric jigsaws with pendulum stroke Makita 4351 FCT, Interskol MP-100E and Metabo STEB 135
Electric jigsaw Makita 4351 FCT is equipped with a mushroom-shaped handle that enables the tool to be held securely with both hands while working. This makes it possible to perform sawing operations on vertical and inclined surfaces when additional effort from the user is required.
Working on vertical surfaces
The electronic starting mechanism provides a soft start and further adjustment of the pendulum rail speed as it enters the material to be sawn and adapts to its density and structural changes.
The combination of anti-vibration components of the jigsaw body and well-balanced mechanism make it comfortable and convenient to work with.
Not superfluous will be a node of the saw zone lighting, with sharp transitions in the darkened areas can always include an autonomous light source.
Making angle saws easy and fast
When there is a frequent need to perform oblique saws at a certain specified angle, for example, in the end fitting of perpendicular surfaces, this operation is quite time-consuming. But when using an electric jigsaw Interskol MP-100 E this operation is quick and easy because the set slope adjustment unit is controlled by a convenient clamping lever located under the motor housing.
The pendulum stroke has 3 steps of straight sawing speed adjustment and a “0” position for shaped sawing.
Aluminum gear case effectively removes heat from the rubbing parts and serves as additional rigidity of the entire structure of the jigsaw.
Transparent protective screen limits the area of sawdust dispersion and allows to visually control the accuracy of the sawing operations at all times.
Sawing in solid metal
Cutting metal is the most demanding and difficult task, but with the Metabo STEB 135 611200500 but the Metabo STEB 135 611250000 is also the most demanding task.
This functionality is achieved by using an electric motor with sufficient power reserves and a high torque transmission ratio to the pendulum drive. The metal gear housing, made in one piece with the front support bearing of the motor, also contributes to this.
The molded support base ensures a tight fit to the surface to be sawed and has a structural cavity for the removal of sawdust from the saw area by means of a vacuum cleaner or dust collection bag.
The saw’s area remains clearly visible at all times because it has an air blowing function from the motor’s cooling impeller.
Increased protection against motor overloads due to short circuits when the rotor jams, the current feeder unit of the latter has automatically deactivated carbon brushes.
Four steps of the pendulum adjustment allow a very precise selection of an acceptable speed for straight cuts, and the “0” position ensures a strictly perpendicular movement of the saw rail.
The saw blade is held from lateral movement by a low-lying support roller with a central groove.
