SEPTEMBER 21, 2011 - La Mirada, Calif. – Makita, a worldwide manufacturer of technologically advanced power tools that are more compact with less weight yet deliver industrial strength power and results, has released a new Top Handle Jig Saw, model JV0600K. The new JV0600K combines power and performance with reduced vibration and ease-of-use features. The result is a versatile jigsaw ideal for a full range of cutting applications.
“Makita has been a leader in the jig saw category, and the new JV0600K combines some of the best features of our top models,” said Joe Soto, Product Manager, Woodworking. “The JV0600K has the speed, power and reduced vibration of our top of the line models, with ease-of-use features to make it one of our most versatile jig saws.”
Power, Speed, and Reduced Vibration
The JV0600K is engineered with a powerful 6.5 AMP motor and a variable speed control dial (500 – 3,100 SPM) that enables the user to match the speed to the application. The internal counterbalance system is engineered inside the tool for reduced vibration and improved comfort, so the tool user gets top cutting performance with less vibration.
The JV0600K has three orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The die-cast aluminum base adjusts from 0 degrees to 45 degrees right or left with an on-board wrench for fast bevel adjustments. A through-the-body dust port for use with a vacuum provides efficient dust management, and the built-in dust blower clears the line-of-cut for increased visibility.
Ergonomic and Ease-of-Use Features
The saw features an ergonomically-designed rubberized grip to provide more comfort and control, with a large 2-finger trigger switch with lock-on button for extended use. The JV0600K is only 9-1/4 inches long and weighs only 5.2 pounds, with a low profile design engineered for improved handling in compact areas. The JV0600K accepts Tang shank blades and has a “tool-less” blade change system for fast blade installation and removal.
