Makita 4351FCT 6.3 Amp Corded Barrel Grip Orbital Jig Saw
The Makita 4351FCT is a high-precision 6.3 Amp corded barrel grip jig saw engineered with electronic variable speed control from 800 to 2,800 SPM and a 1-inch stroke length for smooth, accurate scroll cuts across wood, steel, and aluminum sheet materials. Featuring 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, a tool-less T-shank blade change mechanism, and a dynamically balanced motor delivering 40 percent reduced vibration, this 5.5-pound cutting tool maximizes control during intricate coping and scribing work. Equipped with a built-in LED light, integrated dust blower, soft start, and a die-cast aluminum base tilting up to 45 degrees left or right, it provides steady cutting stability for cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and countertop fabricators.
Best Used For:
- Precision Cabinetry & Molded Trim Coping: Executing low-vibration tight radius curves and coping joints in crown molding, baseboards, and cabinet face frames.
- Laminate Countertop Sink Cutouts: Guiding smooth plunge cuts through 5-5/16 inch wood laminates using the anti-splinter insert to prevent face veneer tear-out.
- Sheet Metal & Aluminum Fabrication: Cutting up to 3/8-inch steel plate and 25/32-inch aluminum stock cleanly with constant speed under heavy cutting load.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Dynamically Balanced Motor Architecture: Engineering counterweight system reduces tool vibration by 40 percent and lowers operating noise for enhanced accuracy.
- 4-Position Orbital Cutting Switch: Provides 3 orbital power settings plus straight-line cutting to optimize material removal speed and edge finish quality.
- Tool-Less T-Shank Blade Ejection: Fast spring-loaded lever system allows rapid blade replacement without touching hot, worn saw blades.
- Electronic Constant Speed Control: Maintains steady blade stroke velocity under dense material loading to prevent binding and jagged cut lines.
- Beveling Die-Cast Aluminum Shoe Base: Adjustable base plate swivels up to 45 degrees left or right with positive stops at 90 degrees for square cuts.
- Integrated LED & Line-of-Sight Blower: Built-in work light and continuous dust blower clear wood chips away from the layout line for maximum line sight visibility.
