Blue Spot Tools 87mm Bi-Metal Multi-Tool Blade Universal Fit 19056

Blue Spot Tools 87mm Bi-Metal Multi-Tool Blade

MPN: 19056

Barcode: 5028734190564

Size: 87mm

Weight: 0.05kg

Overview:

The BlueSpot Tools 87mm bi-metal blade cuts wood, non-ferrous metals, and most plastics on an oscillating multi-tool. It also works through wood containing embedded nails and screws - making it suited to renovation and demolition tasks.

Bi-metal construction pairs a heat-treated carbon steel body with a high-speed steel cutting edge. This combination gives the blade strength for metal cuts and enough flex to withstand repeated use.

A universal fitting makes the blade compatible with most major oscillating multi-tool brands. Multi-tools using a Starlock system are not compatible with this blade.

Key Features and Benefits

• Multi-material capability: One blade moves between wood, non-ferrous metals, and most plastics without needing a change.
• Handles embedded fixings: Cuts through timber with nails or screws already in place, keeping work moving at awkward points.
• Long Life design: BlueSpot's Long Life designation marks this blade as one built for sustained cutting performance.
• Milled teeth: The tooth profile produces clean, controlled cuts across different materials.
• Universal fit: Attaches to most major oscillating multi-tool brands without adapters or modifications.

Typical Applications

• Cutting softwood and hardwood with an oscillating multi-tool
• Cutting through timber containing embedded nails or screws
• Cutting non-ferrous metals, including aluminium, copper, and brass
• Trimming and cutting most plastics
• Renovation and demolition tasks involving mixed wood and metal materials

How to Use

• Check compatibility: Confirm your multi-tool uses a universal fitting - not a Starlock system.

• Fit the blade: Attach the blade securely to the oscillating tool's arbour following the tool manufacturer's instructions.

• Set speed: Select an appropriate oscillation speed for the material being cut.

• Cut with steady pressure: Move the blade through the material without forcing it - let the blade do the work.

• Remove and store: Take the blade off carefully after use and store it in a safe, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a bi-metal oscillating multi-tool blade?
  A bi-metal blade combines two metals: a flexible steel body and a high-speed steel (HSS) cutting edge. The flexible body absorbs stress during cutting while the HSS teeth handle tougher materials. This construction allows the blade to cut more materials than a single-metal alternative.

• What is the difference between a bi-metal blade and a high carbon steel (HCS) blade?
  High carbon steel blades handle clean wood and light plastics well, but dull quickly on metal contact. Bi-metal blades add an HSS cutting edge, making them better suited to nails, screws, non-ferrous metals, and harder plastics. On demanding tasks, bi-metal blades outlast HCS alternatives.

• What does "universal fitting" mean on a multi-tool blade?
  A universal fitting uses a slotted mounting pattern that fits most oscillating multi-tool brands without an adapter. This covers brands such as DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita, among others. Multi-tools using the Starlock system require Starlock-specific accessories instead.

• Can a bi-metal blade cut through nails and screws embedded in wood?
  Yes. Bi-metal blades are designed for this task. The HSS cutting-edge handles metal contact within timber, making it suited to demolition and renovation work. High-carbon steel blades are not built for metal contact and will dull rapidly in the same situation.

• Are universal-fit oscillating blades compatible with Starlock tools?
  No. Starlock tools use a three-dimensional locking system developed by Bosch and Fein that requires Starlock-specific accessories. Standard universal-fit blades do not attach to Starlock tools. Always check your tool's fitting type before purchasing a replacement blade.

Summary

The BlueSpot Tools 87mm bi-metal blade (stock code 19056) handles wood, non-ferrous metals, and most plastics on most universal-fit oscillating tools. It also cuts through timber with embedded nails and screws, making it a practical option for trade and renovation tasks. Multi-tools using a Starlock system are not compatible - check your tool's fitting before ordering.
