Basics
- A Power Tool that oscillates a blade at a high frequency
- Attatchments similar to a Sanding Block can also be attatched, if the quality of a Random Orbital Sander is not needed
- Major use is for cutting Drywall for Outlets (and essentially anything that is not square, for that a Hole Saw / Hole Saw Kit can be used)
- Often called "Multitools" as a longer form name that is sometimes used is "Oscillating Multitool"
- The Masonry Blades are also of use supposedly quite useful for applications where a SDS Rotary Hammer Drill wouldn't be used
- Framing and Masonry Work Seem Pretty Significant Application Wise, i haven't been around any residential/wood stud framers yet, but may ask about that, know nothing and have no contacts masonry wise short of asking my electrical coworkers, see if they did the same tasks in remodel (may have been what they were reffering to with the masonry blades)
Industry Standards
- Dewalt and Milwaukee are what i have seen, looking for more deatails now
Internal Links
- Recipricating Saw (Can be used in similar situations, although it can be less "gentle" and more bulky, single handed options don't have as much of the bulkyness issue)
