Over a year ago I purchased a Dremel Max multi-function tool and
several blade attachments. *I used it once for a very quick job and it
worked OK. * It wasn't until about a year later that another
opportunity arose that required use of this tool. *Surprisingly the
motor wouldn't oscillate. *It would only move very, very, very slowly.
I contacted Dremel about this issue and I was told it was out of
warranty and I would have to send it to them for a repair estimate.
Now, if I used the tool regularly and it was out of warranty I could
understand this. *But because I had only used it once I was troubled
by their position.

Now I needed a tool like this but I was NOT going to spend another
$100+ so I had read about the HF similar tool thread on this list
recently. *This past weekend I purchased the variable speed unit
(because it came with a case and several attachment blades which when
I added to the single speed unit came almost to the same amount).

I've now used this tool to cut and remove indivdual hardwood floor
sections, *trimmmed the replacement strips, cut out a countertop to
install a sink and bottom trimmed a couple door jambs to refit new
threasholds. *Bottom line - some people may think of it as a toy, but
for the non-professional handyman it makes a great addition to the
tool arsenal.

The only gripe so far is it appears my blades from the Dremal Max DO
NOT fit the studs on the head of the HF. *I wish they did.

Just my $.02 work that I wanted to share for this group.

Can you grind down the Dremel shanks to fit the HF tool?
