Oscillating Tool Blades and Accessories
Getting the most out of your multitool involves choosing the right blades and accessories for the job. This basic overview outlines examples of the most common types of oscillating saw blades and tool attachments to help you knock out every project. Find individual attachments and multitool kits available at Ace.
Plunge Cut Blade
A plunge cutting blade is ideal for making cutouts in laminate, drywall, skirting boards and more. Plunge blades can also handle creating rough cuts in wood. Blades with heavy-duty carbide teeth enhance performance when cutting metal and other materials.
Bi-Metal Blade (BIM Blade)
Bi-metal oscillating saw blades perform best when cutting through tougher and stronger materials like metal. BIM blades are designed for longer-lasting use than standard multitool blades, and they're powerful enough to cut through wood embedded with nails.
Sanding Pads
A sanding pad helps you prep jobs and smooth out smaller surfaces. Look for complete sanding pad sets that include a variety of grits suitable for multiple applications on metal and wood.
Scraper Blades
When pulling up linoleum or tearing down old wallpaper, there's no need to use a manual scraper. Multitool scraper blades are ideal for scraping an array of light materials. Blades with rounded convex edges deliver fast, clean and controlled cuts. If you're removing caulk, a rectangular-shaped scraper blade with an opposing precision-ground cutting edge makes a great choice.
Semi-Circular Blades
These multi-saw blades offer broad cutting space. Since they're typically more reinforced than bi-metal blades, they're great for cutting through tough metal hardware, thin-gauge sheet metal and thick steel nails.
Are Rotary Tool Accessories Universal?
Although not every bit is universal, many rotary tool attachments from different manufacturers can be used with rotary tools. To do this, the rotary bits must fit the rotary tool collet. Collets secure the bit to the tool, and they come in a few sizes, with the 1/8th inch collet very common.
Look for common rotary tool bits like sanding drums and disks for shaping wood and metal and smoothing out surfaces. Abrasive buffs, wire brushes and bristle brushes can help clean and remove impurities from your working materials. Metal cutting discs of various sizes can unleash the full utility of your rotary tool, letting you work in tighter spaces. Find rotary tool accessory kits at Ace.
