Last fall Gene posted about the Harbor Freight multi-tool -- the ideal tool for a GMC.
I recently purchased one -- $34.99 at the local store. After a few trial cuts I can see why the excitement. It does a really nice job with flush cuts in wood. I also had reasonable success using wood blocks as an edge guide when making plunge cuts.
In comparing it to a Dremel multi-tool -- the Dremel has several different speeds and more of the pins on which the blades fix. The HF multi tool only uses four pins.
The HF half-circle blade seemed like it wore quickly. Replacement HF blades are $7.99.
Any experience with other blade suppliers? I see Lowes has Bosch blades -- but at $24.99 for the half circle.
Future projects include cutting pvc pipe...
