Product Information

Another great tool in the new CXT range works as described and has plenty of power. The charge indicators on the batteries are a welcome addition.“

Around a couple of years ago, my professional requirements demanded that I own a jigsaw of my own to improve my efficiency. I was looking for a product from a reputable brand, with powerful performance specifications and great value for money. Its superior user experience and variable speed modes made it the perfect choice for jobs that needed finesse and precision. Read on as I give you a great idea about the product and its performance to help you understand if it meets your requirements and expectations. The base also allows the blade to bevel 45° to the left or right, allowing users to make angled cuts when required. Weighing 5.8 lbs including the battery, the machine does not require too much to be operated properly.Visibility of the cutting line is one of the most important aspects while using a jigsaw. LED lights and dust blowers illuminate the line and clear the dust from the workpiece respectively. This helps maintain accuracy and allows the user to follow the cutting line with ease. After putting both these models to the task, I was finally able to settle my doubts about which model is the better of these two i.e. Makita DJV182Z vs XVJ02Z?

Makita DJVi182Z is a 6 variable speed jigsaw that can be used in wood, steel, and aluminum, it has an 800-3500 SPM and can be used within 0°- 45°. It is a perfect choice for beginners as well as for professionals. Length of stroke Ideally you should buy a cordless jigsaw from a good quality and well respected brand. That way you know the tool is made of good quality and also has good customer service and most importantly you can get parts should you need them. The best known brands are Makita, Dewalt, and Bosch.A brushless electronic motor runs more efficiently than brushed types. This can help reduce the tool's energy consumption. General-purpose blades are good for basic cutting applications that do not require precision. Purpose designed blades ensure a professional cut with a smooth finish and increased efficiency. This allows users to choose batteries between the 1.5 Ah and 5.0 Ah depending on the runtime requirements they have. User convenience is a very important aspect of Makita’s products, and this one is no different. It has an aluminum base that helps keep the machine stable while cutting. It also has a bevel feature that turns the blade by 45° to the left or right, helping users make angled cuts.

The motor is brushless, which keeps the size and weight down. This also gives you more runtime from any 18V LXT battery you use, and makes the jigsaw very durable. The base plate can be angled left or right to 45º. Soft-start is a real bonus as it provides a greater level of control when you’re starting the cut. The motor gives you variable speed up to 3,500spm and a stroke length of 26mm. Therefore translating into cuts up to 135mm into wood and 10mm into steel. The power is shown in volts on a cordless jigsaw, and the capacity of the battery is measured in Ampere Hours (Ah) As a general rule the higher the Ah rating the better. Ah is a measure of capacity and the minimum for a jigsaw is 3.0Ah. You can also get 4.0 Ah and 5.0 Ah which will last longerA unique feature of this jigsaw by Makita, the soft no load system allows users to conserve battery when the machine is not in operation. When the sensor detects little to no resistance on the blade, the motor speed is automatically turned down. The Makita DJV182Z and Makita XVJ02Z are cordless jigsaws with brushless motors. There is only one major difference between the two models, which is listed below.
