I could still make the cuts with the Makita XVJ01 brushless barrel grip jigsaw thanks to its slow start feature. The saw starts off at its slowest speed and then after the cut gets going, it ramps up. This is very helpful though not as precise as doing it yourself with the trigger on the D-handle models.

Powered by an 18v LXT Li-Ion Battery (sold separately), Makita’s newest cordless brushless jigsaw offers 3 x different orbital settings and a straight cutting feature.Featuring a "Soft no load" function, which automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. Makita jigsaws are a cost effective solution for those who need a powerful saw, without the high price tag that is often associated with them. These affordable jigsaws still have the same accuracy that you are looking for and will stand up to the toughest jobs you will encounter.

As the above reviewer states, the body grip on the DJV181 is a key benefit. It allows you amazing levels of control over your cuts, especially curves. Equally, flip the jigsaw upside down, and the barrel grip is ideal for making plunge cuts from the underside of the material.
