Can Makita jigsaws cut through metal?

Makita jigsaws are capable of cutting through a range of materials, including metal. The type of blade used for cutting metal will depend on the specific type of metal being cut. Generally, a blade with a high TPI (teeth per inch) count and made from high-speed steel or bi-metal will be suitable for cutting through metal with a Makita jigsaw. It's important to note that cutting metal with a jigsaw will create a lot of heat, so using a lubricant and taking appropriate safety precautions is recommended.

What types of blades are compatible with Makita jigsaws?

Makita jigsaws are compatible with a wide range of jigsaw blades, allowing users to achieve precise and clean cuts in different materials. The type of blade needed will depend on the specific material being cut. For example, blades with fewer TPI (teeth per inch) are suitable for cutting softer materials such as wood, while blades with more TPI are better for cutting harder materials such as metal. Makita offers a variety of jigsaw blades to complement their jigsaws, including blades for cutting wood, metal, and other materials.
