Makita 4350FCTJ

My green BOSCH 720 had broken down after many years of loyal service and although I was satisfied with it, I now wanted to buy a machine that was a bit more professional. I doubted for a long time about this Makita or a blue Bosch. In the end it became this one and maybe the built-in lighting was the deciding factor.

I am not a professional user but a self-renovator and mainly use the machine for sawing MDF, laminate and other sheet material.

Anyway: after a few weeks of use, you certainly won't regret it! The built-in lighting works well and is often handy. The biggest improvement compared to my previous machine is the fact that this Makita cuts nicely at right angles, where the Bosch no longer saws nicely at right angles, even in 18mm MDF.

For the renovations at home I needed a good jigsaw and I looked for quality from Makita. I ended up with this Makita4350FCTJ.

This 700+ W jigsaw may be slightly more expensive than other brands offered at Coolblue, but I still think this machine is the best choice in terms of price/quality ratio.

This jigsaw is stable (counterbalance) and fits very well in the hand thanks to the ergonomic bow handle. The vibrations that this device produces can also be called minimal and the cutting line is not affected by this either. The supplied saws are also very high quality and suitable for different materials.

During cutting, the sawdust is also blown away and the built-in lighting is useful.

I have worked and sawed quite a bit of wood with this machine over the past year and will certainly enjoy it for years to come. The machine still shows no wear after this many sawing work and is for professionals as well as for do-it-yourselfers who like to work with quality material.

Simply great, this Makita! Nothing to complain about!

Great machine. all the pluses have already been mentioned. And the minus is relative. Big and heavy can also be advantages and then I come back to the positives. Makita is an affordable top brand.
