Description
The Oscillating Multi-Tool is a multi-purpose cutting tool. The tool is perfect for cutting slots into the material, especially in hard to reach places. The vibrating action of the tool allows you to cut even in the middle of the material, without using a starter hole, as required in a Jig Saw or a Scroll Saw. The smaller blades also allow for more precision when cutting.
