Way out of my reach but nice to see a good review on the Dremel. Thanks for the article. May be on my list for Christmas! Glad the review was helpful Carla. Fein accessories. Hope Santa is good to you!
This is a great tool for the money. The first thing I noticed was the case. Rigid construction, plenty of room for accessories, extra sanding paper, and easily identifiable. If I have a tool box full of cases I want to grab the tool I need the first time. I tried out the flush cut blade on some old fir trim I had around, and props to Dremel for the markings on the blade denoting depth. I was sure I could wear these off rendering them useless—but even really cranking on the tool, the best I could accomplish was loosening up the blade causing me to tighten the arbor bolt again.
Another thing I noticed about this tool was the noise level. To my disappointment—it does not go to If I owned a tool company, I would have 11, just because it is awesome. I will just say that professionally, there were plenty of times where I did neither. Using a tool that screeches all day can be just plain taxing. Would I want to listen to the Dremel for hours with no hearing protection? No, but the few cuts I made with it without were not headache inducing.
All in all—the Dremel performed just how I had hoped it would. As an oscillating tool capable of doing its job, and everything I would expect from Dremel. Without actually ever having my hands on it—try to score a line with a really sharp utility knife blade to cut the fibers of the top layer of wood.
Next, being careful to not mar outside of your score line—take a sharp chisel and use the corner of it and give it a few raps with a hammer. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. I was pleased to read your review of the Dremel tool which is similar to the Fein Multi-Master. I have had a Fein for a number of years, and really appreciate the unique applications for which it can be so effectively used.
Oak flooring. This is an old tool that came out before the star spindle was introduced. I was able to run not much longer than seconds before the blade rotated out of position and I had to stop, reposition and tighten it. I would not encourage anyone to think they are getting a bargain if they find a used one of these older tools at an attractive price.
Then before I finished the job, which amounted to cutting less than 2 feet of material, the blade cracked. My local hardware store did not carry a replacement so I had to go to a tool supply store in an adjoining town to find one my fault for not having a spare on hand and a tight schedule.
I am sure they are cheaper on the Internet. This was not a brazed carbide grit coated tile blade, but a simple steel wood cutting blade. Having decided maybe I was pushing it too hard with the first blade, and out of consideration of the price, I slowed everything down with the new blade.
Even with going slowly, avoiding heating and torquing the blade, and taking a shallow cut, this blade also cracked in less than 5 minutes. Fortunately I had made a very clean cut all the way across on the surface which it did a beautiful job of and finished the unseen part of the cut with a wood chisel. Other than less, I do not know what a similar blade for the Dremel tool would cost.
Hopefully competition will cause Fein to reconsider their attachment pricing structure. Thanks for the insights and commentary Richard! I moved your comment from another page since it was posted to the wrong article. As to accessory cost, I just did a quick check on Amazon for a frame of reference. Both Fein and Dremel make a very similar semi-circle shaped wood cutting blade the most noticeable difference being the Fein blade is offset slightly for flush cutting.
The price differences are less dramatic on certain other blades, but from what I could tell, the Dremel blades were always cheaper. So is a Fein blade 5 times as good as a Dremel blade to account for the price difference? So far the hard flooring has been laughing at my attempt to cut at it with circular, jig, and reciprocating saws.

Welcome to the FOG! Sparktrician Posts: The Multimaster is a great tool for some circumstances, but it's one of those tools that just does not seem to excel at most applications.
I think that no matter which Festool sander you choose, you'll see an immediate improvement in quality of finish, part of that due to superb dust extraction. The CT 26 is a wonderful dust extractor to start with. Oh, and to the FOG. Enjoy your stay. The capacity for occasional blundering is inseparable from the capacity to bring things to pass. Alan m Posts: If you can afford it get both dc systems. If not get the bigger extracter for you bigger tools andcuse the shop vac for the sander for the time being I havent used my multimaster for sanding since I got my ro The MM was only good for the delto pad.
Also welcome to the fog. Steve Rowe Posts: Teach them safety when they are young. I have both the Multimaster and several Festool sanders. The Multimaster is a fantastic tool but not so much for sanding. This is the right size for my use. I can see benefits to the larger units if you needed something that generates a large volume of fluffed up chips such as a planer or perhaps heavy router use.
The larger sizes would be great for shop use but, transporting to a jobsite might be problematic depending on your transportation. And, to the FOG Steve. Quote from: coug on February 13, , PM. I've hadmy Multimaster for more than 12 years and love it. Drop me on a desert island that has electricity and only one tool choice and the MMis that choice for me.
Sanding with the MMin my experience is best for home improvement projects that will be covered with multiple layers of thick paint. The Festool sanders eat the MM's sanding performance without thinking. Brian Livingstone Posts: Hi, I purchased a Fein Multimaster to perform some undercutting functions in door jambs with regard to a few tile projects I have on the go.
