Fein or Bosch multi tool

[Thespanishtiler]

I have the old screw fit fein, the blue gop250 bosch, the cordless blue bosch and the cheapo aldi one.

the fein is the best.

If you scroll back in this thread you will see that I use Imperial Blades [USA] in my Fein tool as they are about 60% of the price of the Fein blades.

If any one wants a diamond tipped blade - resin bonded 60 grit we can supply them.

i have bosch electric version and the cordless version,stick to the electric version in my opinion.very good for arcs and regrouts.

I have used the Bosch, and I own a Fein, no comparison imo

My fien super cut is 6 or 7 years old,with like a star shape fitting if you no what I mean,if I can get these blades cheaper ill be very happy, as I'm still paying about £14 pounds each buying 5 at a time,feedback would be mucho appr eciated Richard

Hello Darren

I am buying Imperial Blades from Axminster Tool Co in Axminster although they are running stocks down and not replacing them, however there are a few others in the UK selling them. Try diytools.co.uk - 32mm GP saw blades are about £10.25 inc VAT plus del. Might be able to drop delivery charges if you buy a few - say £50 - talk to them first about delivert charges.

These blades will fit your fein at 90 degree positions where as the Fein will fit at every 45 deg. but apart from that small detail they perform as good as Fein and I reckon they actually last a bit longer. - Tip with all these types of tools - never cook the blades as discoloured blades will blunt very soon after heat treatment.

I must say though the fein rasp/regrout attachments are made of like a very weak brass/copper something and bend very easily.I prefer the bosch rasp attachments.

I generally use the tool at 90% 100% of the time anyway Richard,thanks for the info,I also go no more on the what is written on the stickers that give oscillation speed 3-4 whatever it indicates,and still get burnout,so expensive for the blades I must have spent a fair bit of money on them,probably the same amount the tool actually cost me by now,rubbish really, still it can save a fair bit of time.

Is there any blade that will plunge cut into ceramic tiles??

I have a diamond blade for the Fein that will plunge cut marble quite well, a bit slow on ceramics. but it won't touch porcelain.

Hi i am new here, i have used the bosch green and fein cutters but personally own the 110v makita uses same blades as the bosch and is about £130 new i wouldnt have a fein given after using the makita just prefer the feel

I'm buying a Makita 240v tomorrow. 330 watt. Verdict to follow I guess. I get free blades from work so see what works best for me.
