Since the Fein patent expired late last year, others have duplicated the

You may want to check that. I don't they're all interchangeable. In
fact, I'm pretty sure they're not. But I also don't know which fit
which.


....boy, I've had a Fein tool for quite awhile now, and LOVE the way it
functions...I use it mainly for hard to cut things like base or crown
that needs a trim for a cabinet installation; non-invasive and
accurate. That said, I would be elated if I didn't have to pay Fein
prices for *that* blade...looks like a job for Supergoogler!
