Dremel Multi-Max Carbide Blade

The only thing I had to try out the blade on was some very hard wood pegs that held a desk together and I was taking it apart. This blade went through about 25 pegs in a short amount of time. I was very impressed. I had tried some other wood blade I had and it did not go through as quickly as this blade.

Dremel has provided me this product in exchange for an honest review Handy for flush cutting. Cuts steel slowly. Has no effect on ceramic tile.

I received this blade about a month ago, and without really having any necessary projects that I needed to use this blade for, I instead performed a few tests with the blade. The Oscillating tool that I used to perform the tests with is the DREMEL MM35 Multi-Max Corded Oscillating Tool. The first test I used the blade on was a piece of treated 4X4, just simply cutting a few pieces out of it. The blade performed pretty well and didn't seem to be too affected cutting through the 4X4. Next, I did some notching into a piece of black iron pipe. The blade did pretty good and was able to cut the pipe at first with little resistance, however, towards the end it started to show a little bit of a struggle to complete the task. Could have been because of the the tool not having enough "Power" to complete the task or the blade maybe starting to dull up a bit. Then I took a cinder block and used the blade to cut chunks off of it. The blade performed really well. Cutting through the cinder block like a hot knife through butter. Finally, I used the blade on a piece of angle iron and again, the blade started off pretty good, however, just over half way through the blade again started to bog down as if to lose momentum. Just a bit of curiosity, I wanted to use the tool on another Multi-Tool from a different manufacturer. Unfortunately, I was NOT able to use the blade on the other multi-tool because of the way that BOTH the tool and the blade were designed. To me, if the name includes the word "UNIVERSAL", then it should be capable of being used on a variety of different multi-tools and this blade is simply unable to be used like that. Overall, I was pretty impressed with the performance of this blade. I was NOT going to give the blade a bad rating or review of less than a "4" simply because of the fact that it wasn't the blade, but the tool itself.

Have used this blade several time's for different projects. Have cut some bamboo flooring and the door jambs. Also used tk enlarge a slot in a plastic box. Has worked well. Will buy more for my toolbag. Dremel has provided me this product in exchange for an honest review.

This blade works great for cutting wood and the occasional nail or staple you may encounter around door jams while laying flooring or other indoor projects. After using it for a couple weeks I held up fairly decent and gets the jobs done. It is a little better than the non carbide blades by Dremel but not a major improvement overall. It can cut nails and other hardened objects easier and can last a decent amount of cuts if not forced through the material. I did try to cut some rebar and it barley got through a single cut and looked fairly knarly afterwards. I would not recommend this and would just use a cut off wheel. If you can find this around the same price or not much more than a regular blade and encounter nails this would be a great purchase. Overall it does hold up better than non carbide blades and does cut through hardened woods and small metal objects like nails and Staples a lot better with less blade degredation.
