This kind of tool is a real life saver because it can get into angles/places you really can't deal with any other way. I agree with your point on plastics in particular: it really eliminates the temptation to do ill-adivsed/impatient things with utility blades.
When I was a kid my dad, a doctor, had an oscillating tool that he used, among other things, for removing plaster casts. They often show those things on TV claiming it is a 'bone saw' and acting as if the blade spins rather than oscillates. It's not as if you couldn't hurt someone with it, but it's not like waving around a circular saw that's running.
I have a Worx Multi tool and have found that the scraper blades are quite useful to remove bark when carving, but also when sawing plunge cuts and other types of cuts it helps to assist the cutting by moving the blade back and forth as this assist in the cut, but I expect you already knew that, however others may not. Good review as there are more blades than I was aware of, so thank you for the update.
Had a carpenter building a deck for me and he had a Milwaukee M18. Had never seen one before and was amazed at how useful it was for him doing a variety of tasks (like trimming screws poking out, sanding, refining cutouts for the posts, etc.) Pretty big, so I looked at the M12 and its' smaller diameter fits better in my hand and great for a variety of tasks, cutting buried PVC pipe/fittings in my irrigation system that needs replacing, scraping off old paint, etc. The drive system is tight and has held up for about 3 years now.
who knew? I just found out about Fein today, 2023. It's something we never had and now since the patents have expired we get these tools in the USA now. how I would have loved one of these back in the 1990s and 2000s
Mine is a craftsman. I know it's not professional for carpentry but as a plumber my craftsman does what I need it for. All new to me glad you explained the blades to me. As a plumber I sometimes have to cut mortor joints wood and Tyle and sometimes copper and pvc.
Dahut- There are 2 different OMT blade designs. 1) Starlock 2) Universal Fit. I would highly recommend that you check out the new Diablo OMT blades. They came out with a line of Bi-metal and Carbide in both Starlock and Universal and they rock. Just like everything Diablo does in Power Tool Accessories, they finally have made a blade that lasts like they should and I'm not paying out the nose for tons of blades for my tool.
I love the Makita corded version (and the old HF Chicago Electric one was also a beast!!!). But I'm now stuck onto the the Dewalts XR cordless ( DCS356 ). It's truly spoiled me.
These tools are awesome. Make quick work of odd jobs that pop up every now and then. Like cutting through a broken copper pipe under the sink without hitting everything else in the way. I would of got one years ago.
I just received my 1st oscillating tool, Milwaukee fuel M18 kit. I also purchased the Hemunc Oscillating tool scraper blades set, include oscillating rigid scraper blade 10pcs, flexible multitool scraper blades 2pcs. Which blade does what? There’s flexible and which is a straight blade and rigid blades that are bent. I need to remove 3 layers of vinyl squares (floor). Great video. Thanks
I looking and wondering if theres bigger versions blades can cut 2" thick concrete instead of STHL Saws which are really expensive lot more weight and powerful.. 👍
Very informative and since I’m about purchase an oscillating tool, very useful vid. I’ll also be purchasing a hand grinder and will review your channel to see if you’ve done a review on those. Thank you.
Do yourself a HUGE favor, and select one that has a "quick release" blade attachment point. The biggest pain with these things is having to mess around with an allen wrench to mount the blade-retention screw in the middle of the driving shaft, while your blade and any other loose parts flop around and refuse to remain where they belong until you can get that damned screw tightened.
@@floobertuber If it's the same price, yeah, get the quick release one. If it's like 10% more expensive, I'd go with the allen one. Not that big of a deal... Where I live, the Makita quick release is 80% more expensive than the older allen model. It was a no brainer no choose: allen all the way...
Can you cut laminate 38mm worktop? I need to cut about 10mm at the end but the worktop is already fitted and can’t remove now. I don’t want to chip and blow the edge. Would this work? I have a circular saw but it’s too big for the edge I need to cut and do have enough room for it
I have one of these and keep buying blades for it but i dont know what to do with it and it shud come in handy because im doing a huge hoke remodel plumbing drywall the whole 10 yards but i keep using other tools to do what some people say the osilating tool will
Need help.my machine has no speed control mechanism to regulate .and the switch is not smooth to on-off .vibration is so strong that I scare of safety to use.made in china. Have never use since day one.pls help .what is yr advice
I have an idea for an oscillating drywall cutting blade (unless one exists already). When cutting drywall there could be times when there's fiberglass insulation with paper backing that I don't want to cut (or electric wires/pipes/etc) on the back side. A blade that will only cut 1/2 deep would be great. The blade could have a guard welded on top that prevents it from going any deeper than the distance from the teeth to the guard. Does this type blade exist? If not feel free to pitch it to blade manufacturers.
both fein and dewalt offer a depth stop to prevent overcutting for their multitools, you can also just wrap painters tape around blade at depth to stop the cut.
Yes, indeed. As an MA for orthopaedic surgeons, I have removed my fair share of fiberglass short arm casts, long arm casts, etc. using an oscillating tool. ~ APRIL LIPKE
Oscillating tool carbide grit blades are for small cuts like removing grout from between tile or doing small cuts and tiles to fit them in Awkward places. You would use a diamond wheel on a grinder if you're gonna do lots of cutting in hard materials.
Maybe I'm missing something here or I'm late to the party but why aren't there any pointed triangular blades or arrow head shaped blades? It would seem to me that this would make plunge cuts much easier, faster and more accurate. I'm looking but cannot find anything. If you end up finding any or know of any existing for plunge cuts just ignore me. But if you decide to run with this idea and make a ton of money please include me 😁🙏. Another idea is having teeth on the sides maybe? Maybe that would create more resistance idk but I'm thinking and it seems like the shapes of these are where the money's yet to be found. You could make c blades with teeth on the inside?!?! Just some random ideas. Also, re sharpening these must be a big market yet to be tapped. Or tapped effectively. Cutting sidewall staples can be a huge pain and idk of the make longer blades for that. Or if the vibrations at that length would be rendered ineffective.?? Again just throwing around some ideas because that's how my brain works and I love thinking and creating new ideas and inventing things. If somehow the blade could slide to the reinforced area of the blade when hitting a nail. This could limit the damage to the blade and increase longevity as well as cut down on anxiety and worry when hitting nails. I'm sure you could incorporate a type of advanced stud finding technology into the multi tool head and help with this issue. I wonder if they will ever make a much stronger and larger tool that supports larger blades and shaped like rectangle boxes for cutting out electrical boxes quickly and efficiently. As well as other circular blades for ceiling lights. Drills work but this could prove much easier, cleaner, more convenient. Anyways I'm done blabbing. If I helped someone I'm glad if not than sorry for wasting your time. Take care and sorry I chose your ch to post this. Just happened to be on my fifth video looking for my ideas and haven't seen anything quite like what I have mentioned. I'm always late with my ideas anyways but I hope one day to work designing tools and such. I have so many ideas in my head and every once and awhile I can't help but post them, looking for that similar mindset to talk to.

They also have diamond coated blades. Diamond is harder than carbide, probably will last longer. They use diamond coated blades on skill/circular saws to cut through things like thick granite.
Probably a carbide grit blade because they are so aggressive but planing of wood is not what you would want to use an oscillating tool for you would want to actually use a planer or maybe a belt sander
@@CatusMaximus I have a Makita (older model) and it's pretty neat, but my father has some Bosch equipment (drillers) for more than a decade and they're still pretty solid too.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Do you know where I can get one of the grit wheels you show in the video at the 5:00 mark that would fit a Dremel Multi-Max MM50? I saw a video where an oscillating tool was using a wheel like this to safely cut out concrete mortar between stones and I'm trying to find something like that for my oscillating tool to use for that purpose. Thank you!
Cordless is great, and I love Makita but I've been using a corded Dremel multi-max for over three years without an issue. There are aftermarket companies that make every blade available that will fit the Dremel and the ones that don't it's a simple fix with a stainless steel c-clip adapter. Never had one come loose. So the drive system issue with dremel isn't really a thing unless you're buying name-brand blades and I found some aftermarkets that actually outperformed some of the name brands🤷♂️🤷♂️ I'm one of those run it till it doesn't function kinda guys and my multi-max still runs strong. Take care of your tools and they'll take care of you.
I see a cat. I subscribe. I also like the video I just purchased a dewalt power tool set for my husband. He said I can have the oscillating multi tool for my crafts and things lol so here I am.
is bosce a dominating brand in this the reason I am asking is that I am thinking to sell this on amazon and if the majority are brand cautions then I can drop this idea of selling these blades need your feedback on that
Damn that one is quiet as hell.. i got a cheap cheap chicago electric piece of junk.. thing is louder than a circular saw.. dunno why but was only 10$.. lol

I have the Milwaukee m12 version and although it eats up batteries, I really only use it for small quick tasks.
I just bought 1
I converted my battery tools so they can be plugged into wall current. Can't stand cordless tools, too unreliable, will never buy one again.
I also have the m12 fuel, seams to work better than the m18. I bought several 6 amp batteries were on sale 2 for $99
Packed with knowledge. I love it! 😊👍🏻

One of the best power tools I ever bought.
