FAQs

What materials are these blades best suited for?

These blades are ideal for cutting wood, plasterboard, and various types of plastics. They feature aggressive teeth for efficient cutting through these materials.

Are these blades compatible with all oscillating multi-tools?

The Eclipse MF3440WS blades have a universal fit system designed for compatibility with most corded and cordless oscillating multi-tools. However, it's always best to check your specific tool's manual.

What is the cutting depth of these blades?

The cutting depth for these blades is 40mm (approximately 1 9/16 inches).

Can I use these blades for metal cutting?

While they may be able to cut very thin soft metals, these blades are primarily designed for wood, plasterboard, and plastics. For significant metal cutting, a blade specifically designed for metal would be more appropriate and safer.

How many blades are included in this pack?

This pack contains five flush cutting multi-tool blades.

What does 'flush cutting' mean?

Flush cutting means being able to cut material right up to a surface without damaging that surface. For example, cutting off protruding dowels or nails close to a wall.

How should I maintain these blades?

After use, clean the blades with a dry cloth or brush to remove debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect them for wear before each use.

Troubleshooting

Blade not cutting efficiently

Ensure the blade is correctly installed and securely fastened. Check for excessive wear on the teeth. The material being cut may be too hard for this blade type; consider a different blade if cutting metal or very dense materials.

Blade is difficult to install

Verify that your oscillating multi-tool uses a universal fit system. Ensure there is no debris in the tool's mounting mechanism or on the blade's attachment point. Consult your tool's manual for specific blade installation procedures.

Blade wears out quickly

Avoid forcing the blade. Let the tool's speed and the blade's design do the work. Ensure you are cutting appropriate materials. Excessive heat can also degrade the blade; allow it to cool periodically during prolonged use.
