Multi Tool Blades

FAQs

Can multi tool blades fit on any tool?

Multi tool blades are designed to be compatible with a variety of oscillating tools but not all blades will fit every tool so it's always good to check for compatibility with your specific brand and model. We stock many models with universal blades that fit most multi tools, so it's easy to find the right kind of tool for your project.

What can I use multi tool blades for?

Multi tool blades are great for general purpose flush and plunge cutting, sanding, scraping and grinding. They cut through metal, plastic, wood and drywall but can also be used to sand down surfaces, scrape away old paint or carry out precise plunge cuts.

Specialised saw blades with features like milled and side set teeth are particularly useful for smooth, fine cuts on wood or metal.

How do I choose the right blades for my project?

Choosing the right blade depends on the material you are working with and the type of cut you need. For instance, a bi-metal blade is suitable for cutting metals and hardwoods, while a carbide-tipped blade is better for cutting through tougher materials like ceramic tiles.

Consider the blade's tooth count for precision — higher tooth counts are ideal for finer cuts, while lower counts work well for fast, rough cuts.

Always match the blade to the material and task to ensure efficiency and quality results.

What materials can multi tool blades cut through?

Our multi tool blades are designed to handle a wide range of materials including wood, metal, plastic, tile, laminate, drywall, PVC, fibreglass, mortar, and even nails. Whether you're cutting pipework, trimming flooring, or removing grout, there’s a suitable blade in our collection to get the job done.

Are there different types of multi tool blades?

Yes, there are different types of oscillating multi tool blades depending on the task. Some are designed for metal cutting, others for cutting wood, and some are specialised for grout, scraping, or sanding. You’ll also find circular, round, or straight-edge blades for more specific cuts. Always check the connection type to make sure it’s compatible with your multi tool.

What’s the difference between carbide and bi-metal blades?

Carbide blades are best for cutting tougher materials like ceramic, mortar or hardened screws, offering maximum durability. Bi-metal blades, on the other hand, are more flexible and ideal for cutting through metal, nails, or hardwood, offering a great compromise between performance and lifespan. Both options provide excellent control and efficiency depending on your project.
