Makita DJV180Z 18V Cordless Jigsaw Body Only

Cutting tasks often demand both power and precision, and the Makita DJV180Z 18V Cordless Jigsaw delivers on both fronts. Part of Makita’s trusted LXT 18V platform, this cordless jigsaw offers the freedom to work anywhere without sacrificing performance.

The jigsaw’s three-stage pendulum (orbital) action allows you to adjust the cutting motion to suit different materials—whether you need aggressive, fast cuts in timber or smoother, controlled cuts in sheet metal. With a stroke length of 26mm and a maximum cutting capacity of 135mm in wood, 20mm in aluminium, and 10mm in steel, it’s versatile enough for a wide range of applications.

Changing blades is quick and tool-free, saving valuable time on-site or in the workshop. The LED work light illuminates the cutting line for improved accuracy, while the rubber-coated handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip during extended use. An electronic brake adds safety by stopping the blade quickly when the trigger is released.

The DJV180Z is also equipped with a battery protection circuit, safeguarding against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating—helping to extend the life of your Makita Li-ion batteries. At just 2.7–3.0kg with a battery fitted, it’s lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, making it ideal for overhead or awkward cuts.

For professionals and serious DIYers, this jigsaw is a reliable, portable solution that balances cutting power with user comfort and safety.
