Makita JR3070CT

Power tools from the Japanese manufacturer Makita are the key to many years of comfortable and efficient work. The JR3070CT saw is a professional saw designed for heavy loads.

Anti-vibration system

The tool is quite compact 485x99x181 mm, but heavy (4.6 kg). However, due to the AVT vibration dampening system based on a dynamic counterweight, working with it is not as tiring as it seems at first glance.

Powerful engine for any task

The high engine power of 1510 W allows you to cope with cutting metal pipes with a diameter of 130 mm, and sawing an oak beam 150x150 mm in 10 seconds.

For certain types of materials (aluminium, plastic, steel, aerated concrete, wood), using a special dial, you can select 6 speed presets — from 950 to 2800 rpm.

circular cutting

The presence of a pendulum stroke provides 4 cutting modes : straight and circular with varying degrees of amplitude of blade movement, and a retractable support sole provides 5-position adjustment of the cutting depth. however, some note the excessive softness of the metal of the sole, it bends quite easily with effort.

Maintaining the number of revolutions

Electronic speed control maintains the set speed, which makes it possible to get the cleanest cut even under heavy load. There is also a fixation of the start button in case of prolonged operation.

Easy brush replacement

Considering that such a powerful tool is likely to be used in extreme conditions, the manufacturer took care not only of reliable protection of mechanisms and electronics from dust, dirt and moisture, but also of easy replacement of brushes, the fastest wearing part of the tool, access to them is maximum convenient.

The saw comes with a branded case and three saw blades — one for wood and two for metal.

The cost of the goods of $ 300 with its characteristics is quite predictable and is not yet the highest among competitors. More eminent Dewalt, Bosch and Metabo can be found more expensive, but is it better?
