About this deal

I am using Bosch T101B blades, which I had previously used and are very sturdy - this has improved the bending of the blade when doing curves. My other installation team, doing roughly the same job but with DW brushless cordless tools similarly found that their cordless tools were struggling a bit with the material, and so switched to corded kit as well.

LXT DJV180 DJV180Z DJV180RFE JIGSAW - PF TRADE MAKITA 18V LXT DJV180 DJV180Z DJV180RFE JIGSAW - PF TRADE

The Makita 18V DJV180 Jigsaw is cordless powered by Li-ion battery (Not Included), featuring a compact and lightweight design making this ideal for professional and DIY use. This 18v LXT lithium ion cordless jigsaw with tool-less change and built-in job light. The lightweight and compact Jigsaw has a soft start and offers smooth and powerful cutting with a high rotational speed of 2,600 strokes per minute. Body Only Machine, Supplied without battery or charger. Because of the changable blades, Jigsaws can be used on almost all materials. Jigsaws are mostly used to saw curves and corners. First off, the blade does not align with the guide plate cutout - it is maybe 1mm out (maybe 2mm), which makes trying to accurately follow a line impossible. Long story short (as mentioned in another thread), I have template diagrams to trace onto the wood. Once cut all the wood is glued together. Don't get me wrong, its a very good saw, I got it for a good price, and it will likely suit every task I will ever need of it. It was just this one very specific task I needed it for, where my old Makita was failing, and I was hoping this would be the magic bullet to solve everything.You are correct, it is a splinter device, but there is a V cutout which looks like is is designed as a guide also - the 4334D has an additional plastic section with a guide on it, whereas the DJV180 has a weird metal hoop which I find to be pretty useless guide as the splinter device hides the line. The lighter weight is not as big an issue I thought it would be, it is just the guide letting it down. I hadn't realised that my old Makita was missing the splinter device, and it has a separate guide (almost like the sighting on a gun), which worked well. This doesn't have that, it has this metal loop thing instead (maybe I can mark it). Ignore the plastic guide and follow the marked line, turning the blade causes it to splay out so turn off the pendulum and don’t force it.

I cannot get hold of this dimension in the UK, but what comes VERY close is scaffold board - 36mm x 225mm

A jig saw isn’t designed to make perfectly straight square sided cuts, a circular saw or even quality bandsaw would give better results. But you should get reasonable results with those gently curved edges Home > Do-It-Yourself > Jigsaws > Makita Jigsaws > Makita DJV180 Jigsaw Manual Makita DJV180 Jigsaw The blades which came with it were pretty crap, so bought some better ones, and then aligned the blade so its perfectly square - its better, not perfect, but better. This is meant to be a straight down cut (admittedly, the blade I was using was one which came with it which felt a bit flimsy, but still...):An ergonomically rubberised handle provides comfortable gripping and more control while minimising hand fatigue and pain Ergonomically rubberised handle provides comfortable gripping and more control while minimising hand fatigue and pain The reason why I need it as accurate as possible, is because the wood I am using is ever so slightly warped, so tool accuracy is even more important. Yes. Small particles can fly up during sawing. When these hit an eye they can cause permanent eye damage. That is why it always necessary to wear eye protection.
