Makita had designed this Barrel Grip Jig Saw to be more ergonomic, and allowing the using to be closer to the work surface for more precise cutting. Equipped with a brushless motor for efficiency and power. Combined with a variable speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) to match the speed to the application making this ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinets makers, and residential construction workers.
 
Ergonomically designed barrel grip allows closer-to-work control and more precise cuts
Makita-built brushless motor and 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting deliver faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials
Variable 6-speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) enables user to match the speed to the application
