They all seem to work. The Fien is apparently the dogs, but at
that price it should be. The Bosch PMF 180 works very well and is
more affordable for DIY use.

They all IMO suffer from the blades being mega bucks & not lasting
long.

You can find a Faithfull set of 9 (or is it 13) blades for around £20
which is a lot less expensive than manufacturer's ones. I have a set
on order, we'll see how they last. (They fit all the tools
apparently)

The blades arrived today, they certainly *look* OK and come in a very
neat little aluminium case. It's 9 blades for £23 including delivery.
The set comprises: scraper, 4 plunge cut blades of different widths, a
standard 270 degree blade, a thick blade that I don't quite know what
it's for, a triangular TC grinding plate and a 270 degree TC cutter.


Not heard of Bexpress, useful looking site. Can't find that set. Do you
have a part number by any chance?
