Default RE: A NEW KIND OF BUILD THREAD, for those of you . . .

But the details at the website states, in part:


Features
Universal blade holder uses standard U- and T-shank jigsaw blades
3/8" blade stroke for fast and controlled scroll and straight-line cutting
Pivot foot provides easier control in a variety of materials and shapes
Includes one wood cutting blade for straight and curved cutting
Soft grip body for comfort and control
For use only with the 400 Series XPR rotary tool
Includes
XPR MultiSaw attachment
Straight/curved wood-cutting saw blade

I know the cutting bit works like a drill bit while cutting (I didn't get it as a replacement bit for the multisaw, I got it just in case I would ever need it) but it says in the details here that the multisaw uses regular jigsaw blades (you can see in the pic) and works like a scrollsaw. So I bought some blades that start with the letter "T" so I assumed they were T-shank blades (hope I was right cause I got quite a few different styles).

And the mini saw will come in real handy the next time I have to cut out a new servo tray (which has been more than once)

tiger - with the multi saw the blades do NOT reciprocate like in a jigsaw but turn like in a drill or Dremel tool.
http://www.mytoolstore.com/dremel/bitsmult.html are rotary bits and not reciprocating like a jigsaw. They will still do many tasks though.
