An almost perfect jigsaw for the home craftsman
Although among professional carpenters, the Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 cordless jigsaw is not considered a professional tool (DeWALT and Bosch blue are valued in this environment), but it closes the needs of the home master almost one hundred percent. It has a solid construction, a perfectly flat molded sole and a good mechanism for fixing files. The spring-supported guide that supports the saw blade during operation is very low. Thanks to this, the file does not “walk” and does not play, but goes clearly along the intended path and makes clean and even cuts. Therefore, Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 is ideal for those who make furniture or other products that require maximum precision with their own hands. But even with rough cuts, Metabo jigsaws do just as well. This model has an adjustable pendulum mechanism that allows you to cut wood quickly (albeit at the expense of a worse cut cleanliness). The jigsaw can not only make deep cuts in wooden workpieces (up to 100 mm), but also (if you use the appropriate saw blades) cut non-ferrous metals (up to 25 mm) and steel sheets (up to 10 mm).
Characteristics and properties
Although the tool is slightly heavy (2 kg excluding the weight of the battery or 2.4 kg with a battery) by the standards of modern manual jigsaws, its ergonomics are at its best, and vibrations are practically not felt. It has a comfortable arc handle with Softgrip coating and a sensitive start button, with which you can change the frequency of the saw strokes (up to 2800 strokes / min at maximum speed). The quick-release keyless chuck allows saw blades to be moved without the use of keys. Of the functions necessary for safe operation, it should be noted the inertial brake, which provides an instant stop of the file after releasing the button, and protection against accidental restart. Unlike many other tools, this jigsaw has a truly efficient system for removing sawdust from the cut line. They can be blown forward with a directed air stream. And if you switch the direction of flow, insert a plastic nozzle into the sole and connect a vacuum cleaner, then dust, chips and sawdust will go straight into its bag. The owners of the Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 jigsaws blame only the lack of lighting, so you need to decide in advance the issue of lighting the workplace.
Almost complete set
The Metabo STAB 18 LTX 100 601003840 jigsaw comes with a Metabo MetaBox 145 L plastic box and a small set of accessories: an adapter for connecting a vacuum cleaner, a protective glass for more efficient chip collection and a plastic pad on the sole so as not to leave marks on the material being cut. But the battery and charger, despite the rather high cost of the tool, are not included in the kit, they need to be bought separately. Experienced owners of Metabo tools recommend buying batteries with a capacity of 4 Ah, as it is difficult to fully exploit the potential and use all the advantages of a cordless jigsaw with smaller batteries.
