Reciprocating saw "Makita" (Makita): models, specifications and reviews

The saber-type working cloth is a relatively new type of saw blade. The pendulum stroke of the working element distinguishes such devices, due to which the depth of the tooth cut is increased. In modern models, this concept is very diverse. So, there are modifications for both direct and for figured cutting. In a wide range of products and a saber saw "Makita", some versions of which can be attributed to a universal tool of this type.

General information about the saber saws "Makita"

Much as a working ability of the saw depends on the construction device. Realizing this aspect, Japanese designers are trying to optimize all the working components of equipment for the needs of accurate cutting. As a result, the saber saw Makita received a special clamp of the cloth, which adapted the design to almost all types of hacksaw jagged blades.

In addition, designers and the value of electronic control systems, which greatly simplifies the tasks of the user, are not forgotten. With the help of a stepless regulator, you can adjust the number of strokes. Also, the workflow is optimized by changing the positions of the hacksaw, which is also supplied with a saber saw. The electric version of the saw of this type from the company "Makita" allows you to cope not only with wood, but also confidently cuts thin metal, gypsum boards, etc.

Model JR 3050 T

The basic version of the electric saw, which is suitable for operation as a universal household hacksaw. The model has a power plant with a capacity of 1010 watts. In this case, the immersion depth is 255 mm for wood material, and 130 mm for working with metal. By the way, the device works well in point work with pipes. If it concerns the conversion of sanitary ware with high requirements for accuracy of sawing, the electric saber electric JR3050T will help to cope with the task. For the convenience of the user, the tool is provided with a quick-change mechanism for the cloths and a rubberized handle. In heavy or long operations, a part of the case can also be used as support - it is specifically designed for both hands. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks in this model, which is due to its belonging to the initial level. The developers did not envisage in it the possibility of a smooth start and support of high revs with intensive work.

Reciprocating saw "Makita" JR 3060 T

This model opens a series of professional tools. The power of this version is 1250 watts. Although the cutting parameters correspond to the lower version, the stroke was increased to 32 mm. Also, the device is provided with an impact-resistant housing, which was specially designed for operation under conditions of intensive loads. In practice, the saber saw "Makita 3060" is used in household carpentry and in the construction sector. The pendulum stroke allows you to confidently cope with the rough cut if you need to perform fast operations in large quantities. The designers took care of the security measures. The model is provided by the locking of the power button and the safety clutch. At the same time, control systems allow the owner to optimally adjust performance characteristics for specific tasks.

Model JR 3070 CT

This is the most powerful version in the family, which is endowed with a power potential of 1510 watts. The saw is provided with keyless adjustment of the cut, as well as a tuning system for the pendulum stroke. The weight of the tool is about 5 kg, so the designers have provided ergonomic coating of the case for reliable retention. Also, the design is reinforced by a disengaging clutch and metal gears in the gearbox. In aggregate, these additions minimize the recoil of the hacksaw when the blade is jammed. As an option, the Makita JR3070CT Reciprocating Saw is equipped with a sawdust blowing system. Such devices are useful in long sessions, when it is planned to continuously cut one large billet.

Feedback on the electroknife "Makita"

Models cause positive impressions due to many aspects of operation. As for ergonomics, there is also a well-thought-out grasp of the case, and convenient adjustment of performance. With respect to protective qualities, many also emphasize the benefits of safety options and additional mechanisms for controlling the cutting process. Despite the high power, users have no complaints in terms of noise, which is produced by the saw Makita. The price of representatives of this line varies on average from 10 to 15 thousand rubles. On the market you can find both models cheaper, and more solid expensive versions from major manufacturers of the same level, but Japanese developers are guided by the average level and the specified price range corresponds to it.

How to choose the best option?

If you need a device for private use in a domestic environment, you can limit the entry-level model JR 3050 T. This device has a small performance, but it is enough to cut boards, plywood slabs, asbestos paneling, and to dismantle the pipeline. A more demanding task is solved by the version of JR 3070 CT, which will cope with professional level operations. It can not be said that the "Makita" saber saw of this version significantly exceeds the rest of the series in terms of power characteristics, but its design is designed for more stringent conditions of use. First of all, this refers to the intensity of cutting metal blanks.

Conclusion

Manufacturers of modern tools in different segments are beyond the scope of manufacturing devices of a certain purpose. Thus, screwdrivers are provided with the functions of a drill, and pile-driving pistols in recent versions cope not only with rivets, but also with dowels. Also, the electronic woodcutter is not limited to just the tasks of processing natural sawn timber. Even younger representatives of this tool of the firm "Makita" cut quality metal and metal, eliminating the need to purchase specialized devices. The saber models have a unique feature as a function of the pendulum stroke. The working process in this mode allows the cutting of blanks in large volumes in short time intervals. However, there are limitations to this method of processing. In particular, it is not recommended to use it, if you need to get a smooth and clean edge.
