About This Product

The Makita 18V LXT Brushless Jig Saw (model XVJ04Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) seamlessly combines precision and power with the efficiency of brushless in a more compact design. The XVJ04Z is engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw, but without the hassles of a cord. It is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw.The XVJ04Z has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable speed control dial (0-3,000 SPM) enables users to match the speed to the application. In addition, the efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life.Convenience features include a "tool-less" blade change system that allows for faster blade installation and removal, a large 2-finger variable speed trigger with lock-on button, and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. The base bevels and locks from 0° to 45° left or right for more precise bevel cuts.

                  According to Makita's own website, the part number is: 413F05-1 However, availability is extremely limited within the United States, as this appears to be limited to specific countries, for reasons unknown.

                    Got this as the "free" gift while using "the buy a tool, get one free" promotion. It's Makita, so it's obviously well-designed and lightweight. So far it's been sufficient for all DIY projects I've had. Battery life is good too.

                      Really great tool, I replaced an old corded jigsaw during a major shop project (add 88 4x8 interior panels) and this guy cut so clean and fast, it made outlets and adjustments go very fast. Brushless power is amazing as well as the battery life.

                      Great Cordless Jig Saw
                      The Makita 18V LXT Brushless Jig Saw has all the features you would expect from a jig saw and much more. In addition to a brushless motor, which means longer life, the saw is obviously cordless but not underpowered at all. The Jig Saw is variable speed so you can match the speed to the work and has 3 orbital settings for slower speeds cutting curves. I tested the jig saw on a wet pressure treated 2x4 on “HIGH” in straight cutting mode and the saw zipped right through the 2x4 with the supplied wood saw blade. Makita also supplies a dedicated metal blade and a combination blade in the standard t-shank design which are easily changed without any tools. The base of the Jig saw also tilts. The Jig saw does use a different battery than my Makita skill saw which was a bit of disappointment but not enough to make me dislike this jig saw. The Jig saw also comes with a great warranty, 30 day replace/refund and one year repair or replace warranty.

                      Accurate, Smooth Trigger and a Joy to Use
                      I've always dreaded using my jigsaw for anything, but this saw just changed that. The large trigger is big enough that I can use two fingers and that reduces pressure and makes it so much more comfortable. I can't believe how smooth the trigger and start-up is. It has soft-start so there's no surprises. You can speed it up or down smoothly giving you total control. It also has Constant Speed Control.. The rotating speed is kept constant, even when under load. To  reduce the vibration and align the saw blade with the cutting line easily, the tool automatically reduces the rotation speed until the tool starts cutting the workpiece, when the speed dial is set at 2 or higher.There are four positions of cutting action, using orbital or straight line. The speed dial is adjustable from 1-5. Installing and removing blades are a breeze. No tool needed. Bevel cuts are made by adjusting the base using the on-board hex wrench. It has a cover plate for the base to protect veneers, plastics and such. The tool and battery have overload, overheat and overdischarge protection. It does have an LED that lights up the cutting area very well. An electric brake stops the cutting action quickly when the trigger is released. The built-in dust blower keeps the cutting line clear. There's a three year warranty on the tool and battery. This is one of the smoothest running tools I have and I no longer dread using a jigsaw. Oh and it came with three impressive looking Makita blades too and they do very well. This is a nice set-up and it uses the Makita 18v batteries that you probably already have.

                      Excellent Jig Saw
                      I became a big fan of Makita Cordless Power Tools after I got their 7-1/4" 36-volt circular saw. This 18-volt Makita Cordless Jig Saw is the same high quality power tool that the circular saw is. You can easily adjust the speed setting, the cutting action from straight to orbital, and even change the blade, all without the need for any kind of a tool. There is a storage spot on the saw for the included hex wrench, but it is only needed to adjust the base for bevel cuts, which range from zero to 45 degrees left or right. 3 blades are included with the Makita, one for wood, one for metal, and a combo blade. So far, I have only experimented with the wood blade on some scrap 3/4-inch oak plywood, but with the power put out by the 18-volt 4.0Ah battery, this saw cuts like a knife through butter. Makita backs up this saw with a 3-year warranty on the tool and the battery, but based on my experience with the reliability of Makita Cordless Tools, it will probably never be needed. I don't foresee anyone being disappointed with this saw.

                      This is a sweet tool. You won’t do better. It’s bad to the bone for a cordless jigsaw.
                      I already had a corded Makita jigsaw I bought a few years ago and I have been super pleased with it. So I knew I would probably like this cordless version. And it definitely does not disappoint. It has all the advantages of the really well crafted Makita corded saw with the convenience of not dragging a cord around. Blade changeout is insanely easy. The light is great and illuminates the cut well. Can’t say enough about how useful that is. So many years I got by without it. The best thing about both saws is the power and how smooth they cut. I do like this one came with the foot sleeve which is nice when you are cutting something you don’t want marred. And let’s face it, with this tool that is most of the time. It has the same foot my old saw has. And the grip is very close to the same with the same trigger so switching between them is smooth as silk without a cord. The only thing nicer about my corded one was it came with a nice case. But guess what ? This saw also fits in that case. So if I need to carry it somewhere I can use that case. I may still find use at some point for my old saw because I do still like it a lot. But it does most definitely play second fiddle to this one now and will likely see little use now. I’ve been using Makita tools for over 40 years (yeah I was a lot younger when I started). And the corded Makita was the still best jigsaw I’d ever used. But this one may just edge it out. If it holds up over time like all the other Makita stuff I’ve ever used it will be a homerun. It’ll take years to bear that out but I’m optimistic. I know the batteries will one day run down and the corded saw may still be going but at my age it may outlast me.

                      Does It All
                      Makita 18V Brushless Jig Saw. This package is "tool only" but I already have Makita batteries. I'll use the 1ah battery for short projects and the 4ah battery for longer projects. The 1ah battery weighs less. A lot of features built into this unit. 3 orbital and 1 straight cut settings. LED light for better view of your work area. Comes with 3 blades for wood or metal and a hex wrench you'll need to adjust cutting angle. No tools necessary to inset / remove blade. Also has a cover plate to protect your workpiece. Speed control to match your workpiece. After hitting on/off button, you can trigger the saw. Power stays on for a short period of time after you release the trigger so you don't have to keep hitting the on/off button. Designed to accept accessories such as a dust collector and fence guide (not included). Well built unit, cuts fast and easy to control.

                      Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw (Tool Only)
                      The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw (Tool Only) model XVJ04Z is a new product from the popular Makita brand and a nice addition to my woodworking shop. I have an older Makita corded Jig Saw that works just fine but this Cordless saw is more portable and just as powerful. Its tool only, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately. That’s fine with me since I have multiple Makita batteries due to transitioning my shop to battery powered tools. I like the efficiency of the brushless motor and the variable speed trigger that enables me to match the speed to the application. This is an ideal saw for professional woodworkers and is supported by a 3-year limited warranty.

                      Many Features
                      The Makita cordless jigsaw runs with little vibration and with 3 orbital settings it reduces cut time and minimizes chipping. With the variable speed selector you can optimize cutting everything from soft wood to mild aluminum and steel. The saw has a safety on/off switch to prevent accidental starting when handling the saw. It also has a LED light to improve cutting accuracy as you can clearly see your cutting line. It even comes with a plastic cover plate to protect the surface of the material being cut. A cutting fence and vacuum attachment are also available for this model.
