Makita XVJ04Z 18V LXT Brushless Jig Saw (Tool Only) – 0-3,000 SPM, Bevel 0-45°, LED

Overview

The Makita XVJ04Z 18V LXT Brushless Jig Saw is a cordless solution designed to deliver precise cuts without the constraints of a cord. This tool-only model pairs with Makita's 18V LXT battery system, offering a compact, balanced design that weighs about 5.5 lbs with battery. On the job, you may notice clean starts, steady performance, and the freedom to work in tighter spaces where a corded jig saw would be less convenient.

Power, Efficiency, and Longevity

• Makita-built brushless motor delivers 0-3,000 strokes per minute for faster, more efficient cutting with reduced heat buildup.
• Electronic controls optimize battery energy use, which can translate to up to 50% longer run time per charge versus some non-brushless tools.
• Star Protection Computer Controls communicates with the battery to monitor conditions in real time, helping prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

Versatility for a Variety of Materials

• Three orbital settings plus straight cutting enable you to tailor action to materials like plywood, hardwoods, and laminates.
• Soft no-load mode provides a smoother start, helping you begin cuts with better accuracy and reduced blade snag.
• Base bevel ranges from 0° to 45° left or right for precise bevel cuts and compound work.

Convenience and Visibility

• Tool-less blade change allows quick blade swaps, reducing downtime between cuts.
• A large 2-finger variable speed trigger with a lock-on button offers comfortable, controlled operation across sessions.
• Dual LED lights illuminate the work area, helping you see cut lines clearly in darker spaces.

Design, System, and Support

This jig saw integrates with Makita’s expansive 18V LXT System, letting you mix and match compatible batteries and tools for a flexible on-site workflow. Star Protection helps maintain performance across demanding job-site conditions.

Note: This model is sold as a tool-only unit; batteries and charger are not included and must be purchased separately to power the tool.
