The jigsaw itself is the same in all 4 variants.
For each Supply also includes:
Saw blade set (2x wood clean cuts, 2x wood rough and fast, 2x metal, plastic)
Plastic sliding plate no. 417852-6
No suction. 417853-4
Splintering no. 415524-7
First used:
The jigsaw is very well made and shines with a very good quality. The cable is made of silicone and is therefore very flexible. The length I find sufficiently long (2.6 m).
Insert Stichsägeblatt:
Without tool? I know that even with a super long thin screwdriver from the old jigsaws. And if the screwdriver was gone, then you have bad luck.
And at the Makita? Simply press the lever sideways, insert sheet, let lever. Incredibly, it works even. Just perfect!
First switching on:
After turning it takes felt half a second until the saw begins to move. In practice, this works great because the thumb is in the short time back directly to the handle. The LED light is then on permanently. The cut area is very good and brightly illuminated.
Offcuts without extraction:
I used to have the chips always mind when one wishes to watch the cut exactly. In the Makita not. It has even more clear view of the cutting path. As the chips are blown away, I do not care. But it works perfectly.
In a test has been described that the suction is also mostly without any appreciable effect. I'm s suction safely throw away soon.
First cuts:
16mm multiplex - both straight and curves under 2cm radius - perfect
I cut a door, of course, with a wood on rail - as well as no tearing up !!
Kitchen edgings of plastic of the yellow-blue. No tearing up!
In the next days I laid a little laminate, plus I bought special laminate sheets. Update the review takes place, of course.
Further Functions:
Splintering device - I do not use, so far not even needed it tears eh nothing
45 degrees average: with the integrated Allen key the slide plate can easily be rotated
My conclusion to Makita 4351 FCT:
+ Clean cutting power
+ Hardly tearing
+ Simple curve section in multiplex
+ Various accessories available
+ LED light illuminates good
+ Handling perfectly
+ Super easy blade change
o suction function
