Key Features & Benefits
- Top handle design — provides stable downward control for straight cuts along marked lines and against guide rails.

- 23mm stroke with 0–3,000 SPM — controlled blade speed range suited to precise cutting in a variety of materials.
- Guide rail adaptor compatible — accepts Makita guide rails for dead-straight cuts in sheet materials, an advantage over barrel-grip jigsaws.
- Orbital cutting mode — adjustable blade orbit for faster cuts in timber or cleaner cuts in metal and laminate.
- Brushless motor — delivers longer runtime and consistent performance with reduced maintenance.
- Tool-less blade change — lever-action clamp accepts T-shank and universal-shank blades without tools.
- 20mm aluminium cutting depth — capable of cutting through aluminium sheet and extrusions in addition to standard wood and steel applications.
When to Use This Jigsaw
The DJV184Z is the top-handle companion to the barrel-grip DJV181Z — choose this when you need the stability and control of a top handle for straight cuts, guided cuts with a rail, and controlled plunge cuts. The guide rail compatibility makes it particularly effective for sheet material work where straight-line accuracy matters. Choose the DJV181Z barrel-grip instead when you need maximum manoeuvrability for curved and intricate cuts.
