a bit flimsy to be honest

It's versatile so I used it to carve a piece of wood with drywall attached. after a few minutes the blade became 100% blunt. I think it's just "tree". Will order another one and give it back to him. It's a good tool, it just needs to be used for general use. I needed round tool blades with the convenience of plunge cutting. this part works perfectly.

Pros
  • Power tool parts and accessories
Cons
  • Negative impression

Buy with Confidence

Buy with Confidence. I use them in my Fein FMM 350Q. Easy blade installation and replacement. They cut great. Very soft. This is my choice of multi-purpose blades. I have other Bosch OSL blades for specific purposes but these are my favorites. Nice clean straight cuts (if I do my part). And they last a long time. Have used them on spruce door jambs, hemlock moldings, 3/4" solid oak base, 11/8" plywood base, etc. Nice, clean, straight cuts.

Pros
  • Tools and Homeware
Cons
  • Damaged

Square tongue and groove corners in oak cabinet doors.

Other wood drill bits from Bosch seem too aggressive. There is too much left-right movement to use this type of blade to cut flush with the surface adjacent to the vertical sides. This blade saves me time and nerves because I only use a chisel for the…

Misleading keyway standard and lack of documentation - NOT suitable for Starlock tools; requires special Starlock Max tools.

NOT compatible with Starlock tools; requires special Starlock Max tools. This may seem obvious to some, but not to me, although I tried to be clear BEFORE ordering this blade. some interchangeability is possible. Web searches for the differences between the 3 and resulted in an article that focuses on the "backward compatibility" aspect for the 3 variants of StarLock, but also seems to imply that there may be interchangeability between them. Nothing in the UI of the Starlock and Starlock Max…

Pros
  • Oscillating tool accessory
Cons
  • Requires socket
