What is the immersion depth of this blade?
The immersion depth for this blade is 50mm.
What does 'Curved-Tec' refer to?
'Curved-Tec' refers to the rounded cutting edge design of the blade, which allows for exceptionally smooth and accurate plunge cutting without overshooting the desired depth.
Is this blade compatible with all multi-tools?

Troubleshooting
Blade is not cutting cleanly in softwood.
Ensure the blade is securely attached to the Starlock mount and that the multi-tool is operating at the appropriate speed setting for softwood. Check for any visible damage or excessive wear on the blade's teeth.
Blade seems to be jamming frequently.
Verify that you are using the blade within its intended application (softwood). Ensure the tapered-base body is clear of debris. Try to maintain a steady, controlled plunge rather than forcing the blade.
