Key Features & Benefits

  • Brushless motor with 390W output — delivers more power and longer runtime per charge than brushed jigsaws, with reduced maintenance requirements.
  • 135mm wood cutting depth — cuts through thick hardwood, stacked sheet materials, and laminated beams in a single pass.
  • 26mm stroke length — longer stroke than many competitors clears chips more effectively and maintains faster cutting speed through dense materials.
  • Variable speed 800–3,500 SPM — wide speed range lets you slow right down for precision metal cutting or run at full speed for fast timber ripping.
  • Soft No-Load function — automatically reduces blade speed when not in contact with the workpiece, extending battery life on intermittent cutting tasks.
  • Orbital cutting mode — engages an elliptical blade path for aggressive fast cuts in timber, with the option to disengage for clean straight cuts in metal and laminate.
  • Tool-less blade change — lever-action clamp accepts T-shank blades without tools for fast blade swaps between materials.
  • Electric brake — blade stops quickly when the trigger is released, improving safety when repositioning between cuts.
  • Built-in job light — illuminates the cut line for visibility in wall cavities, under benches, and during evening site work.

When to Use This Jigsaw

The DJV181Z is Makita’s premium 18V brushless jigsaw for tradespeople who need reliable cutting performance across timber, metal, and plastic. The brushless motor and Soft No-Load function make it particularly efficient for jobs with intermittent cutting — kitchen installations, benchtop cutouts, and electrical work where you cut for a few seconds then reposition. Choose this over the older DJV184Z when you want the brushless motor efficiency and longer runtime.
