Which Rotary Tool Accessories Do You Need?
Getting the most out of your multitool involves choosing the right multi saw blades and accessories for the job. The following is a basic overview of the most common types of oscillating saw blades and rotary tool attachments to help you knock out every project.
Plunge Blades
This type of multitool saw blade is ideal for making cutouts in laminate, drywall, skirting boards and much more. Plunge blades can also handle creating rough cuts in wood. Blades with heavy-duty carbide teeth offer increased performance when cutting metal and other materials, too.
Bi-Metal Cutting Blades
Bi-metal oscillating saw blades perform best when cutting through tougher and stronger materials like metal. They're designed for longer-lasting use than standard blades and they're powerful enough to cut through wood that's embedded with nails.
Sanding Pads
Replace the blade attachment on your multitool with a sanding pad to take care of sanding and prepping jobs on 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 bringing up linoleum or taking down old wallpaper, there's no need to use a manual scraper. Scraper blades are ideal for scraping an array of light materials. Blades with rounded convex edges are designed for fast, clean and controlled cutting. 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?
For the most part, oscillating saw blades and rotary tool attachments are universal. That means that multi saw blades and other accessories from one brand can work with multitools from other manufacturers.
However, you still shouldn't assume that all multitool saw blades or accessories are compatible with your specific tool brand. Before making a purchase, look at your tool's arbor type. Your tool will have one of three arbor types: multi-fit standard, StarlockPlus or Universal Starlock. If the blades or accessories you're interested in match the arbor type of your tool, you should be good to go. You can also filter your search by compatibility so you know the attachments you get will fit your tool.
