    Question Accessories for Bosch PMF 180E and MultiMaster

    I have been using the Bosch Multi - it is a very handy (though slow) tool. I see a need for next project to use the narrow sawblade, but none advertises that they sell them. Of course I can order it at my local Mitre10, but
    * I would like to check the tools andprices before I decide, and
    * when the Bosch conks out I will probably replace it with a Fein MultiMaster - will the accessories for Bosch be usable on the Fein tool (and vice versa)?

    Where in Melbourne are Bosch/Fein accessories sold?

    Don,t know if the tools are interchangeble, a mate recently purchased a 20 mm metal cutting blade for his Bosch and was a little supprised at the $30 price tag

    Looking at the accessories on the link that Stu71 posted and comparing them to my fein multimaster I would say no. They might fit the older style one but I dont think they will fit those with the Quick Release mechanism.

    Google Fein and you will find some retail and or contact details

    X-man is spot on. The Bosch accessories were designed to be interchangeable with the older model of the Fein.

    There was a demonstrator I spoke to at the big B just before Christmas and he told me that Bosch has plans to make the accessories compatible with the Fein again. I would assume that this will mean a new Bosch model will have to come out too.

    I have a Fein Multimaster and it is excellent for certain tasks (cutting architrave or trim that is already installed, cutting out a floor board) as long as you don't push the blades. I recently bought some replacement blades from Bunnings (Bosch type) these fit perfectly but are over $30 each! I purchased 10 2 1/2" blades on eBay from the US and they cost me $158.89 delivered to North Queensland. If you are interested try http://stores.ebay.com.au/specialtydiamondproducts
