Makita JR3050T Reciprocating Saw: Versatile Cutting Power for Demolition and Renovation
The Makita JR3050T Reciprocating Saw is a robust and highly versatile corded power tool designed for a wide array of cutting applications in demolition, renovation, and general construction. Favoured by tradespeople for its ability to cut through diverse materials with ease, the JR3050T combines a powerful motor with user-friendly features, making it an indispensable tool on site.
Features
- Powerful 1,010W Motor (or 9.0 Amps in some regions): Delivers ample power to tackle demanding cutting tasks efficiently, ensuring consistent performance through various materials. Available in both 110V and 240V versions.
- Variable Speed Control (0-2,800 SPM): The trigger-activated variable speed control allows the user to match the strokes per minute to the specific material being cut, providing optimal control and extending blade life.
- Long 28mm (1-1/8") Stroke Length: A generous stroke length contributes to faster and more efficient cutting, allowing the blade to remove more material with each pass.
- Tool-Less Blade Change: Features a convenient "push-in" lock system for rapid and effortless blade changes without the need for additional tools, significantly improving productivity.
- Tool-Less Shoe Adjustment: The heavy-duty shoe can be quickly and easily adjusted by pushing a red button, allowing the operator to adjust the cutting depth and blade position to maximize blade life and optimize cuts.
- Rubberised Soft Grip Handle: Provides enhanced user comfort, improved grip, and reduces fatigue during prolonged use, even in challenging conditions. Features anti-slip dimples for better control.
- Dust and Drip-Proof Design: Engineered with a design that helps protect the internal working parts (motor and bearings) from dust and water damage, enhancing the tool's durability and longevity in tough work environments. An internal dust blower system helps clear debris from the line of cut for improved visibility.
- All-Ball and Needle Bearing Construction: Contributes to the tool's robust build and longer service life by ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear on critical components.
- Large 2-Finger Trigger with Lock-On Button: Provides comfortable operation and features a lock-on function for continuous cutting, reducing finger fatigue during extended tasks.
- Double Insulation: Offers an essential layer of protection against electrical shock, enhancing user safety, particularly crucial on construction sites.
- Compact & Balanced Design (3.2 kg / 7.3 lbs): While powerful, it maintains a manageable weight and good balance, reducing operator fatigue during all-day use.
- Included Carry Case: Typically supplied in a durable carry case for convenient transport and protection of the tool and accessories.
Cutting Capacities
- Max. Cut in Wood: 90mm (3-1/2") (Some sources also state 255mm when using longer blades, indicating the tool's capacity with appropriate blades).
- Max. Cut in Pipe: 90mm - 130mm (3-1/2" - 5-1/8") depending on blade and pipe type.
