Not all brands of multi-tool use the same type of blade or feature the same size and shape. So when shopping for a multi-tool, it’s important to make sure that the type of blade you need is compatible with the multitool. No, multi-tool blades are designed to fit a particular brand and model. Unfortunately, as Dremel and Milwaukee blades are not interchangeable, it is best to buy the right blades for the right tool in order to prevent accidents. While it is possible to use an adapter to connect the two, it is not recommended as the connection may be insecure and could cause the blade to come off, leading to an accident. Dremel oscillating blades are specifically designed to fit on Dremel tools, while Milwaukee blades are designed to fit exclusively on Milwaukee tools. Will Dremel oscillating blades fit Milwaukee? Be sure to check with the manufacturer when determining which blades are compatible with your particular tool. ![]() However, within a single brand, the blades may be interchangeable. So the blades are not interchangeable between different brands of oscillating tools. Every oscillating tool on the market is different and requires its own attachments, including blades. Carbide tipped work better for metal and non wood stuff but because they don't have alternating teeth they burn much quicker in wood since already cut off wood particles don't have enough room to get out of the way of the blade and end up grinding the existing wood (think how they used to start fire with two wood pieces).įrom my experience most blades that have non smooth finish (on cheap blades they sometimes put matte finish so they don't rust or look "better" maybe) tend to start smoking faster since the rougher finish produces more friction on flat sides especially at higher speeds.No, Dremel oscillating tool blades are not universal. For hardwood and soft wood the "japanese tooth" works best at slower speeds so it doesn't "rub" too fast to start burning wood with it's flat sides and you have to watch the push pressure as well. There's a learning curve to it and usually gained with experience based on which material and which blades are getting used on. Smoke means it was either at too high speed or got dull very quickly. I bought some Amazon blades and they were smoking and burning so quickly, so I just assumed they're all junk. ![]() ![]() If you do some serious use, go with carbide blades from a name brand. This is pretty much my experience, and what I have seen online.Ĭheap blades are all essentially the same, and should be treated as disposable (and buy cheap ones accordingly). ![]() Most blades once teeth are done can still be made into scraper blades with grinder wheel for cutting caulk and adhesives so there's not much point in buying those types even. For long cuts circular saw reciprocating saw or grinder beats multitool speeds and blade wear so I only use for spaces where it's limited access for those. Exception to this are carbide tipped ones made in Switzerland under brands like Bosch, Diablo and Dremel, they last longest if used properly and handle even soft clay tile like 4x4 sized ones when small cuts need to be done. Similar thing applies to metal ones which handle nails somewhat but once hit screw they're done for as well. The ones for wood cut about the same and all once hit nail are done for. I haven't found much difference between "brand" names and ones sold at Amazon for few bucks per blade when it comes to wood blades or metal ones for that matter.
