FAQs
What types of materials can these blades cut?
These blades are designed for wood, hardwood, drywall, nails, non-ferrous metal, and plastic.
Are these blades compatible with all multi-tools?
No, they are specifically designed for multi-tools with the Starlock mounting system. Please check your tool's compatibility.
How do I change the blades quickly?
With a Starlock system, you typically press the release lever on your tool, remove the old blade, align the new blade with the mount, push it on until it clicks, and release the lever.
What is the difference between the Rapid Wood and Fine Tooth blades?
The Rapid Wood blade has coarser teeth for faster, rougher cuts in wood, while the Fine Tooth blade has smaller teeth for cleaner, more precise cuts in thinner materials and plastics.
Can I cut ferrous metals like steel with these blades?
The Bi-Metal blades are suitable for *non-ferrous* metals and *nails*. They are not designed for cutting thicker ferrous metals like steel bars or pipes.
How many blades of each type are included?
The set includes two each of the 32mm Rapid Wood, Fine Tooth, and Bi-Metal blades, for a total of six blades.
Do I need to lubricate the blades?
Lubrication is generally not required for these types of blades during use. Proper cleaning and drying after use are more important for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Blade does not attach to multi-tool.
Verify that your multi-tool has the Starlock fitment. This blade set is only compatible with Starlock systems and will not fit other mounting types.
Blade seems loose after attachment.
Ensure the blade is fully seated and the tool's quick-release mechanism has engaged properly. Remove and reattach the blade, making sure it clicks into place.
Slow or inefficient cutting.
The blade may be dull or clogged with debris. Clean the blade thoroughly. If the blade is visibly worn or damaged, replace it with a new one from the set.
Blade is overheating during use.
This can occur when cutting hard materials or if the blade is dull. Reduce pressure, allow the blade to cool, and ensure you are using the appropriate blade type for the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This blade set is exclusively compatible with oscillating multi-tools featuring the Starlock mounting system. Ensure your tool has the Starlock interface before purchasing. It will not fit tools with OIS (Oscillating Interface System) or other proprietary blade attachment systems.
Setup:
- Ensure your multi-tool is unplugged and powered off.
- Press the release mechanism on your tool's mounting head.
- Align the Starlock interface on the blade with the corresponding interface on the tool.
- Push the blade firmly onto the mount until it clicks into place.
- Release the tool's mounting head. The blade is now secured.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove any dust, debris, or material residue from the blades. A stiff brush or compressed air works well. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Storage: Store blades in a dry environment, preferably in their original packaging or a dedicated blade organizer, to prevent rust and damage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect blades for signs of wear, damage, or dulling. Replace blades that are damaged or have lost their cutting effectiveness to maintain performance and safety.
