Makita 4350FCT Jigsaw, 720 W, 135 mm

Makita 4350FCT Jigsaw, 720 W, 135 mm

The Makita 4350FCT is a mains-powered jigsaw rated at 720 W with a maximum cutting depth of 135 mm in wood. It is a professional-class machine built for curved cuts, internal cut-outs and breaking down wood, metal and plastic.

Stroke and orbital action

Stroke length is 26 mm - longer than the usual 18 - 20 mm in this class, which means faster progress and less heat in the blade on thick material. Orbital action is set in three stages plus straight cutting: straight gives the cleanest edge, while the highest stage cuts fastest at the cost of edge quality.

Constant speed under load

Speed adjusts smoothly across 800 - 2800 strokes per minute, and constant speed electronics hold the set value when the blade meets resistance. That matters in metal and hardwood, where falling speed leads to binding and a broken blade.

Tool-free blade change

The holder uses a tool-free lock - the blade changes with one movement, without a hex key. On work that alternates between wood and metal blades, that saves noticeable time. A built-in LED light aims light directly at the cut line.

Bevel

The shoe tilts for angled cuts in both directions, allowing chamfers and fitting parts into sloping surfaces. Working at an angle the stroke stays the same but the usable cutting depth falls - worth checking before breaking down thick material on the bevel.

Capacity and ergonomics

In steel the saw cuts to 10 mm and in aluminium to 20 mm. It weighs 2.5 kg and the handle carries a rubber coating for a stable grip. Sound pressure is 87 dB(A) and vibration when cutting sheet metal 4.5 m/s².

Who it is for

Saws in this class are used by furniture makers, joiners, kitchen and fit-out installers and building crews. Mains power makes sense where the machine works for long spells in one place - in a workshop or breaking down a run of parts, where batteries would mean frequent changes.
