Bosch Starlock oscillating multi-tool accessories deliver a 3-dimensional fit designed to provide a completely integrated system between multi-tool and accessory. This is a new dimension in torque for oscillating multi-tools. By using a 3-dimensional shape instead of a flat interface, Starlock provides the highest-torque transfer, reduced vibration, and the ability for higher performance applications. These accessories continue to be OIS compatible and fit existing tools, as well as the next generation of high-performance Starlock tools. Bosch multi-tool accessories are Swiss made for precision accuracy and long life in the most demanding professional applications. Bosch has a heritage of innovation including the SDS-plus and SDS-max shank systems for concrete hammers and the T-Shank professional blade standard interface for jig saws. The Starlock interface is the new professional standard in oscillating multi-tool systems.
- Carbide teeth for high performance in metal and other materials

This is one fine blade! Other blades I’ve used did not last very long. I’ve used this blade to cut hard maple, walnut and copper pipe and it cut beautifully. The carbide tip has not shown any wear. The plunge feature is a great asset. It cuts straight and doesn’t wander off course. This is a blade that can be used for every thing I’ve tried. No need to have a variety of blades for different tasks.

This Carbide blade by Bosch is is extremely well made, durable and versatile. It’s rated to cut metal, although to be fair I didn’t want to dull the blade by cutting more than a small piece of aluminum stock. In oak hardwood it cuts like butter; pine cuts like soft butter. The depth-of-cut scale is a simple, but extremely useful addition which really helps me, especially when cutting wood on sheetrock, such as baseboard and door trim during remodeling work. The blade locks very securely on my Feinmaster multi-tool, with none of the play and “jiggle” often found on similar “universal” fit blades. The price for this blade is about the same as most quality blades, but the carbide will outlast them and provide faster cuts. If you use the oscillating multi-tool as often as I do, using these blades is a no-brainer!

I’ve had my multi-tool for several years now, and gone through numerous blades. I asked myhself ‘Where’s the carbide blade?’ Finally, it’s here – and it does a great job. No doubt about the quality – it’s a Bosch product. I’ve used it as a trial to cut off a #12 sheet metal screw which it did in fine order without any visible sign of dulling the blade. I had the screw in a vise, but the beauty of the tool system is that it will do the same cut in place with limited access. I can see this being my ‘go to’ blade for my multitool. The only down side to the blade is that the arbor fully encircles the securing bolt – you have to fully remove the bolt to install this cutter.

One guy said they are all the same, no they are not. This one cuts metal and then wood, and still cuts. I wish they were all made this good, and Milaukee was able to push them off the shelf, unless they made the same or better

The last few years oscillating tools have become must-have for contractors, remodelers and other trades. Using the right blade you can cut just about anything and in tight spots the oscillating tool can cut or reach where other power tools can’t. Oscillating blades are expensive for what they are, and worse yet, most “wood cutting” blades will be ruined by hitting a single nail or screw. The “bi-metal” blades with a slight hacksaw type tooth are a *little* better – instead of one nail doing them in maybe you’ll make through 2 or 3. Now you have a good choice with the Bosch Carbide Tipped Blades. These are the longest-lasting oscillating blades I’ve found. At around $12 to $15 each they’re still expensive for what they are compared to other blades. If you are cutting just clean fresh wood there are much faster blades out there. The carbide blade gets the job done. just not as fast. I wouldn’t use these carbide-tipped blades if all I had to cut was clean new wood. Also they tend to get real hot when trying to cut sold oak, that is where a standard blade with more aggressive teeth works best. The carbide teeth aren’t aggressive enough. I use these blades for remodeling and cutting existing installed wood that has the possibilities of running into nails. Using a standard blade, the blade will be useless after encountering one nail. But these blades continue without any noticeable damage to the blade.

I put this blade through the ringer doing a bathroom remodel and found nothing it wouldn’t cut, and cut quickly. Drywall (well that was a gimme), plaster will dull a blade rather quickly, not this blade. Studs, ok, a little time, but still not a problem. Nails? quicker than expected. Surprisingly, grout was not a problem, it did have trouble with tile but that was pushing it and expecting to much. Great all purpose + metal blade.

These Bosch blades are the best I have used. While they are pricey they are worth it. I have used generic as well as big name products for my multi-tool projects and the carbide Bosch plunge blades last for at least twice as many cuts before slowing down. The occasional undetected nail doesn’t destroy cutting effectiveness immediately like it does with just about any other blade I’ve used – big plus! Highly recommended

As this Bosch Carbide blade for oscillating multi-tool is rated to cut metal, it should last a long time if not mistreated. The cut-depth gauge is a useful feature.The Swiss-made blade has the 3-D Starlock interface and is reported to be OIS compatible. The design requires the arbor-bolt be removed to change blades.I can report that this does fit a Chicago Electric mdl-68303 tool, but only with the “raised interface” towards to tool.

This Swiss made blade is a “metal & more” heavy duty Carbide Extreme Blade. It features The Bosch Starlock interface and it provides a 3-dimensional fit designed to produce the highest-torque transfer, reduced vibration and the ability for higher performance applications. Color coding and laser etched blade allows quick indentification.Blade is compatible with OIS (Oscillating Interface System.This blade cuts through nails like butter and showed no signs of wear after a few nails. This should last close to the 30x the life of ordinary bi-metal blades. Time will tell.Comes in multi packs of 2 and 3.

This is a Bosch blade and fits on my Ryobi Job Tool without the need of an adapter.There is always something that is sticking up that hampers the job that you are trying to do. I had someone remove a piece of drywall so that they could inspect the wall behind it. The thing is he left the nails sticking out of the wood so that the drywall could not be replaced. I needed something to cut the nails off (they weren’t going to be pulled out) so that I could replace and repair the drywall. This blade cut the nails off with ease and the drywall was repaired.

I received this tool attachment to do a review, with no compensation of any kind. As a result, I decided to thoroughly test this Carbide tip! : – ) To the torture tests… I first cut some old hard wood, which proved to be no problem and the tool went through, to use the old term, like butter. Using a similar wide tip tool was obviously fast during my tests, but this baby did pretty well with no wear on the teeth. I did push pretty hard to stress it, but my Fein laughed at the pressure.On to the second test, the metal. It does say for “metal & more”, after all! I decided to grab one of the beefiest pieces of metal in my garage, some left over #3 or #4 rebar. I counted out loud and thrust the blade against the rebar, i got to less than 15 seconds before I had cut through. There were sparks towards the end, and I assume that’s where the carbide teeth were worn or broken off.In the end, I would certainly purchase this blade for any plunge or tight situation cuts I would have to make knowing metal might be embedded at a certain point.

Great blades for precision cuts. I use these for cutting metal most often. My favorite application is cutting nails in tough spots so I can remove shelves, trim, door jambs, etc. The blades are great and come in really handy. They wear out about as quickly as a hack saw blade though.
