Compact yet powerful professional-grade jig saws

Select our Makita 450W saw for a powerful plug-and-go tool or the 18V saw skin, featuring an interchangeable battery compatible with other Makita products. These tools feature ergonomically designed rubberised handles for greater comfort while working on weekend projects. Plus, they have dust-proof construction and multiple orbital stroke settings for quick speed changes.

What are jigsaws used for?

Also known as sabre saws, jig saws are versatile power tools with a straight blade that moves continuously in an up-and-down motion. These saws are adept at handling all types of timber cutting, whether it's straight lines, curves, notches or intricate cut-outs within the material. Due to their compact size and precision, jig saws are particularly suited for detailed work and crafting intricate designs. Adjust the orbital setting to a higher level for faster cutting speeds or to a lower setting for a cleaner finish with minimal chipping.

How do I change jig saw blades?

Always unplug the saw or remove the battery before changing the blade to ensure safety. Our jigsaw range features a toolless blade change system, allowing easy swaps. Simply pull back on the lever located at the front of the saw to release the old blade. Then, insert the new T-shank (bayonet) blade into the holder until it is fully seated, and secure it by flipping back the lever. This quick and efficient method ensures you can continue your work with minimal interruption.
