Makita 4350FCT

Advantages: Powerful, low enough vibrations

Disadvantages: One, but crossing out all the advantages of the file is set crooked.

Comment: I did not expect that such a venerable manufacturer like Makita could control product quality so poorly. The file stands at an angle of 3.7 ° relative to the longitudinal vertical plane, respectively, with a straight-line movement it leads away, and if, God forbid, you need sawing at an angle, then the jigsaw begins to cut out a complex three-dimensional figure that does not even remotely resemble a plane.

Advantages: Light, comfortable rubber grip, smooth start and adjustment of the wheel speed, pendulum stroke, good power: sawn dry birch cap with a thickness of 15 cm with ease! No vibrations.

Disadvantages: As a tool for a curved cut, it cuts crookedly even where it is necessary exactly.
When sawing along the guide, the saw leads to the right because of the non-parallelism of the file and the sole, no adjustments to the sole with a screw help.
Due to the mechanism of the quick change of files, the material is not very stable, the material is not very rigidly connected to the rod and its tip can lead to the left or right (I use a Makit file).

Comment: For rough cutting I am completely satisfied: powerful and productive.

Advantages: Lightweight, relatively powerful.

Disadvantages: Unreliable.

Comment: I use it professionally. I bought Makita-onlain (they have an extended warranty of up to 3 years) as a spare jigsaw (main BOSCH 135BCE). After six months of use, sawing began (the case is not warranty-repair more than 2000.) After 1.5 years, the gearbox-case was covered no warranty repair is more expensive than the cost of a new jigsaw. RESULT: the tool as positioned, NOT PROFESSIONAL !!! More suitable for home use. The same applies to Makita screwdrivers.

Advantages: Power, Backlight, Easy and quick change of files, Case.

Disadvantages: Service center makita, the case is not convenient, everything in it is loose.

Comment: I bought in the official makita store, when I came home I found a factory marriage (not an even stock), I wanted to change the jigsaw in the store, they said that they would not change it, but they would correct the marriage. after fixing problems have changed. I think that I should get a defective copy and not a bona fide SC master.

Advantages: In general, even sawing well. The level of vibration is quite low. The power and stroke of the canvas allow you to work quickly. Illumination, again.

Disadvantages: Not a parallel position of the file to the sole (http://www.makita.com.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1504&hilit=4350), as a result - you can forget about working with a parallel emphasis, because it will lead more than substantially.When working by hand, it also interferes with exactly sawing, it is necessary to carry it at an angle.
Do not disable blowing off sawdust, which kills the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner. And the mount itself for the dust remover is disgusting.
Impossibility without a key to change the cutting angle (top model, though).
Suitcase - so-so.

Comment: Rather disappointing, rather than vice versa. With a number of good and even excellent characteristics has a number of glaring jambs. As, for example, oblique fastening for a cloth in a rod. As it is possible, it is not clear. And it's not clear how to heal - there are no adjustments.

Advantages: Backlight.

Disadvantages: Uneven saw cut, very noticeable on thick material, which is VERY bad!

Advantages: Power enough for any jigsaw work.
Backlight.
Smooth start.
Maintaining the frequency of the saw blade regardless of the load.
Fast change of a file.
Case holds a lot more stuff.
perfectly balanced and no vibration.
Excellent blows away sawdust from the sawing area.

Disadvantages: The backlight turns on only when the engine is running and goes out immediately after it is turned off. It would not have been possible to make the backlight either permanent or extinguished with a delay of 15-20 seconds, as in Makitovsky's screwdrivers.
In the case a lot of free space, however, it would be the way to make nests for files, for the antiskol plate.

Comment: I build a cottage on my own and I cannot do without a good tool. This device is a good tool. Before it was Prorab 4403. I called it an electric pig. I thought it was the ultimate dream. When I worked on the occasion of this Makitka, I was once again convinced that the cheap she and africa are cheap ..
Makitka cuts in, the saw does not lead, it does not tear from the hands. A cast plate, spot lights, anti-scratch and anti-scratch plates are included. Nice in hand, minimal, almost unnoticed vibration. Yes.

Advantages: fast change of a file, illumination, the cast sole.

Disadvantages: not

Comment: I work as a jigsaw professionally, every working day for several hours. Mostly on metal. Very convenient and unpretentious in work. After 1.5-2 years of intensive use, the fastener lock is worn out; replacing the rod with the lock is about 1,500 rubles. There are no complaints, it is eternal. This workhorse for professionals.

Advantages: Backlight, quick file change

Disadvantages: The case is made an "ax", but this does not apply to the lack of a tool.

Comment: Long determined the choice of jigsaw on the following parameters:
1.Scopic handle
2. Quick replacement of the file
3. Illumination
4. Price up to 8000 rubles.
I wanted to take a DeWALT DW331K or Metabo STEB 135 Plus, but they have no backlighting, I had to take Makit, which I don’t regret. I believe that the backlight is a necessary option in any instrument.

Advantages: case, lights, pad on the sole, liner for cutting without chipping, quick replacement of the file, a great depth of cut, and most importantly power

Disadvantages: not

Comment: cuts the air, for three days of work at the dacha I kissed the whole, bought long files / speed wood / switched the pendulum and wall paneling, the floor, the bar 100mm-cuts like oil, did not use the circular saw, before this model was 4329-presented to a friend
