About Makita 12V Cordless Jig Saw – Tool Only VJ01ZW…
The 12V max Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw (VJ01ZW, tool only) is a perfect solution for cutting and trimming applications. The VJ01ZW combines pro power and pro speed with ease-of-use in a compact size that weighs only 3.7 lbs. (with battery, sold separately), with a low profile engineered for improved handling in compact areas.
In addition, users get greater visibility and dust collection capabilities. The through-the-body dust port for use with a vacuum (sold separately) provides efficient dust management, and a built-in dust blower helps clear the line-of-cut for improved visibility.
It’s part of Makita’s expanding 12V max Lithium-Ion cordless line-up, which includes driver-drills as well as an impact driver, impact wrench, circular saw, recipro saw, jig saw, vacuum, and flashlights. Consistent with the rest of Makita’s groundbreaking Lithium-Ion battery technology, the 12V max Lithium-Ion battery delivers more power in a compact size for maximum efficiency.
The VJ01ZW is powered by a Makita-built motor that delivers 0-2,400 strokes per minute, with a variable speed control dial that enables the user to match the speed to the application. With 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, the VJ01ZW is ideal for cutting a wide range of materials.
