Jigsaw "Makita 4329": review, description, features and reviews

Trends in the market of construction tools allow us to say that new technologies are becoming more accessible to a wide range of users. For example, if several years ago the power management option was only available for power tools from the premium segment, today even in a budget class one can find models with similar functionality. Fret saw "Makita 4329" refers to this equipment. The Japanese tool is difficult to classify as budget, but positioning at the initial level is supported by an affordable price. On the other hand, optimal power indicators allow the device to be considered as a universal model.

General information about fret saws

If you refer this jigsaw to the initial level, then corrected for belonging to professional equipment. This hints at the power potential of the model, thanks to which it copes with both the direct and the figured resolution. In terms of "omnivorous" materials, the instrument is also quite versatile. The model "Makita 4329" successfully copes not only with the processing of wood and plastic, but also with metal sheets, including steel sheets. At the same time, the manufacturer himself notes that this model is hardly suitable for high-precision work.

It is more focused on common construction and repair operations. The lack of wide functionality and high performance still limits the possibilities of using a jig saw. However, these restrictions are relative, and the model is fully capable of providing quality sawing with the proper skill of the master. The device does a good job with basic tasks - for example, the same control option for the intensity of sawing facilitates the workflow.

Specifications

And now it is worthwhile to become more familiar with the characteristics of the tool "Makita 4329". They are presented below:

  • The power potential is 450W.
  • The length of the file is 18 mm.
  • The pendulum stroke is foreseen.
  • Adjustment of the revolutions - is present.
  • Cutting thickness for wood materials - 65 mm.
  • Cutting thickness for metal sheets - 6 mm.
  • Shape of handle - staple.
  • The length of the cable is 200 cm.
  • Tool weight - 1900.

It should be noted that although the device is sharpened for versatility when performing a wide range of tasks, a deviation towards power is traced, and not optimization of design parameters. This can be judged by the possibilities of cutting metal - 6 mm is a fairly high index. And vice versa, 65 mm for wood - it's a bit, because even household models in some designs cut to a depth of 70 mm.

Technological features

There are many options in the jigsaw that facilitate the working process of such a tool. But the necessary minimum is still present. First of all, this is a molded sole, which increases stability when installing the saw. And it's not even in its durability, but in a qualitatively realized connection with the main body, which reliably holds in the course of the operation.

Next, it should be noted the possibility of connecting a pump, which instantly removes dust during the cutting process. In terms of the availability of this technology, the machine Makita 4329 is not an exception, but the fact that the Japanese manufacturer also produces high-quality industrial vacuum cleaners allows counting on high efficiency of cleaning the workplace. Add to this is the cooling system with ventilation slots in the casing, which increases the device's resistance to overloads.

Functionality

The model offers the user a choice of three operating modes, one of which can be considered as a universal, that is, a basic one. The remaining formats of work involve the use of a pendulum stroke that can be adjusted. In the basic basic mode, the user can expect to receive the best result regardless of the material being processed. It can be 6 mm steel, plywood, plastic or wood. The main thing is that this mode requires a lot of effort from the user, as well as attention and patience.

Separately, it is worth considering the pendulum mode, which is equipped with the machine "Makita 4329". The instruction notes that the cutting in this case will be carried out not only by the forward-back saw movement, but also by its deflection from the axis. Accordingly, the quality of work will suffer, but the performance and speed of the process will be increased. For this reason, it is recommended to use a pendulum stroke for wood and, in rare cases, when processing soft metals.

Maintenance and repair

The manufacturer recommends that you take care of the contents of the jigsaw. It is necessary to regularly check the connections of the tool elements, update the lubricant and replace, if necessary, the working element of such a device as "Makita 4329". The company supplies spare parts in the service centers, there they are installed by specialists, although such devices as the docking lining, guide rails, pump and anti-splitting device can be replaced independently. In order to increase the working life of the tool, the manufacturer also advises adhering to the general rules for cutting electric jigsaw.

Positive feedback about the model

The device is quite productive and reliable in operation. This is evidenced mainly by users who use the tool in factory conditions. Professional carpenters and carpenters on the foreground in the list of positive characteristics deduce the presence of a pendulum stroke, the possibility of connecting a dust extractor pipe and versatility. Actually, high processing speed at low energy costs is the main quality, for which the jigsaw "Makita 4329" is valued. Feedback on the ease of use is also found, but rather rarely due to a limited set of options in the instrument.

Negative feedback

Negative impressions about the model are due to the fact that it does not have the ability to quickly change the cutting element. This is not always of fundamental importance, but since the device is confined to the needs of high rates of work with an average quality of the cut, it would be logical to provide this common functionality. In addition to it, users also indicate a lack of backlight with a smooth start. Again, today it is difficult to imagine a professional model without such additions, and it is in this segment that the jigsaw "Makita 4329" is positioned. The reviews emphasize that the presence of the same illumination with laser indication of the cutting line could significantly improve the accuracy of the apparatus. If we add to these qualities the support of constant load at high speeds, then the tool could provide high performance without loss in quality of cut.

How much does the instrument cost?

The lack of functions is compensated by a very modest cost. Of course, if we compare the model with jigsaws of high level for 6-7 thousand rubles, then there will be much more flaws in such a modification as "Makita 4329". The price, feedback about which is generally positive, is about 4 thousand rubles. For comparison - Chinese models with a wider functionality can be purchased for 2 thousand rubles. Another thing is that such a tool will fail in the first months of operation, or the quality of the cut will be completely unsatisfactory in it. As for the Japanese model, its technical and operational characteristics are balanced strictly for the needs of universality without any special claims to the accuracy of cutting.

Conclusion

Usually inexpensive models of power tools are usually considered as household appliances, which is not suitable for professional use. But in this case, the affordable version of the jig saw is quite suitable for professional use, but it will bring a lot of problems to the home master. And it's not that an inexperienced user will have to regularly search for spare parts for jigsaw "Makita 4329" in the form of carbon brushes and guide rails. The problem lies in the manufacturer's specific approach to realizing the ergonomic characteristics of the model. We can say that they are minimal and are expressed only in a bracketed handle with a convenient arrangement of regulators. Just for everyday use, it makes sense to focus on jigsaws, equipped with a soft stroke, backlight and laser. But in furniture factories and in the construction of wooden structures, the high speed of the tool will be appropriate, albeit without special cutting quality.
