Metabo STA 18 LTX 140 601405890

Claiming a record

The Metabo STA 18 LTX 140 jigsaw is one of the leaders in terms of cutting depth. With properly selected blades, he can cut wood up to 140 mm thick and non-ferrous metal up to 35 mm thick, and not every manual jigsaw can do this. In this parameter, it is not even inferior to most network models. The only “but” that can scare off a potential buyer is the difference in price: the “carcass” of the Metabo cordless jigsaw costs only a little more than the similar Metabo STE 140 network model, but the charger and batteries for the “carcass” must be purchased separately .

Decent equipment

Like other jigsaws that claim to be a professional tool, this model is equipped with a pendulum mechanism, electronic speed control and a molded sole with a variable angle. The sawdust blower system with the ability to connect a vacuum cleaner and the built-in LED light ensure that the cutting line remains clean and clearly visible in all conditions.

For the mighty of this world

This jigsaw cannot be recommended for beginners and amateurs due to its weight. It weighs a whopping 2.9kg (most cordless jigsaws in their class are at least half a kilo lighter). Of course, "heavyweights" have their advantages (for example, a greater margin of safety and less vibration), but for those who are only taking their first steps in woodworking, it is better to look at some Metabo jigsaw easier.
