Hello fellow tool nuts. Put together a quick video of my new Makita jigsaw…..

Let me know what you think, Chris

That soft start/slow start is a cool feature. It is balanced to hold Chris? It seems like it would be off balance.

Very nice machine U have there bro and keep up the good work on the reviews! I like how UR table came out very nice and the angle grinder I remember U got that for a sweet deal man, the makita saw looks like a beast Chris if u get that one I’m sure u won’t be disappointed.

Thanks guys! Andrew, believe it or not that is one well balanced saw! Here’s part two with the Carvex. I am going to do a full review of both saws, one at a time

Man that carvex is a beauty!! Very cool how that light makes it look like the blades stays still.

Nice videos man..  

you know ive got a few of the same gripes as you do about the Makita but i do agree, overall it is a really nice saw..

thats one of the tools ive been meaning to make a video of but ive been slammed lately..

Thanks John! Yeah all gripes aside, I love this saw. It’s really well built, no vibration and cuts really straight without any noticeable deflection on the soft woods I was using. Very comfortable too.
