Description
If you want a corded jigsaw that cuts cleanly, stays stable in the cut, and handles day-to-day site work without fuss, the Makita 4350FCT 240V is a proven choice. It combines variable speed, 3-stage orbital action, and a tool-less blade change system, with a built-in LED job light for clearer sight lines on the cut.
At Masseys, we supply tools for trade and serious DIY customers every day from our long-established Woodville store. Masseys was founded in 1947, and since March 2014 we’ve operated from a 28,000 sq/ft Home, Garden & DIY store at 129 Swadlincote Road—so you can speak to a team that handles real-world tool queries, not just a checkout page.

Why choose the Makita 4350FCT 240V?
This model is designed for controlled, accurate cutting across timber sheet, plastics and metal, with speed control to suit the material and blade. Makita specifies 800–2,800 strokes per minute with a 26mm stroke length, giving you fast progress when you need it and better control when the finish matters.
Key features
- Tool-less blade change for fast swaps between materials
- 3 orbital settings for balancing speed vs finish quality
- Variable electronic speed control to match blade and material
- Built-in LED job light to keep the cut line visible
- Sturdy adjustable base for accurate cutting and bevel work
- Anti-restart and soft start for safer, more controlled start-ups
Best uses
- Kitchen fitting and carpentry (worktops, panels, trim-outs)
- Sheet materials (ply, MDF, OSB) where a stable base helps accuracy
- Curves, cut-outs and scribing where a circular saw isn’t practical
- Mixed-material jobs where you’ll change blades and speeds often
Tip for the cleanest finish: use a sharp, fine-tooth blade, reduce the orbital action, and let the saw do the work—forcing a jigsaw usually increases tear-out and blade wander.

FAQs
Is the Makita 4350FCT 240V suitable for thick timber?
Yes. Makita rates the cutting capacity up to 135mm in wood (90°) when used with the correct blade and technique.
What does orbital action do on a jigsaw?
Orbital action adds a forward/back motion to the blade. Higher settings generally cut faster in wood; lower settings usually give a cleaner finish and better control.
Can I cut metal with the Makita 4350FCT 240V?
Yes. Makita specifies up to 10mm in steel (90°). Use the correct metal blade, slower speed, and cutting lubricant where appropriate.
Does it cut bevels?
Yes. The base offers a 0–45° bevel range left and right for angled cuts.
Where can I get blades and accessories?
You can pick up blades and consumables here: Power Tool Accessories at Masseys. If you tell us what you’re cutting, our team can point you to the most suitable blade type.
