Powered at 115 volts and drawing 6 amps, it delivers 1,600 strokes per minute (SPM) for fast, controlled cuts through a range of metals. The inline handle design positions the tool for straight-line cutting with clear sightlines to the cut path. At 8.375 inches overall length and 12 pounds, the JS3201 is compact enough for jobsite maneuverability while still handling heavy-gauge material. Licensed electricians, ironworkers, and sheet metal workers are the primary installers and users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe JS3201 is suited for residential and commercial construction where sheet metal fabrication and installation are required. It handles aluminum, mild steel up to 10 gauge, and stainless steel up to 12 gauge (13 gauge maximum for stainless steel per the built-in thickness gauge). Metal decking installation, HVAC ductwork fabrication, and roofing panel trimming are typical use cases. The inline handle configuration works well in tight spaces where pistol-grip tools are difficult to maneuver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1,600 SPM cutting speed for fast throughput on sheet metal and metal decking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts without material loss in kerf, unlike nibblers that remove a strip of material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in thickness gauge helps operators stay within rated cutting capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly visible line-of-sight design for accurate cut tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, easily replaceable blades reduce downtime during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow noise output at 81 dB(A) compared to many competing shear tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum cut radius of 2 inches allows for curved and contoured cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting aluminum, mild steel up to 10 gauge, and stainless steel up to 12 gauge (13 gauge maximum).

Before use, verify the workpiece gauge falls within the rated cutting capacity using the built-in thickness gauge. Ensure the tool is connected to a properly grounded 115-volt circuit rated for at least 6 amps. Inspect and replace blades per the manufacturer schedule to maintain cut quality and prevent tool damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 115 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrokes per Minute\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,600 SPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Capacity - Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 gauge (mild steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Capacity - Stainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 gauge (13 gauge maximum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Cut Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise Level\u003c\/strong\u003e: 81 dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MAKITA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: JS3201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MAKITA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539484541234,"sku":"JS3201","price":1007.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/177b45f210a39d1dba9b32465ab08148.jpg?v=1785841360","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/makita-js3201-inline-handle-electric-shear-1600-spm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
