Jronman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 So I was wondering if I were to purchase multitool blades that do not have an open end to fit the Dewalt multitool could I notch/cut out one end to repurpose it into a Dewalt compatible blade?

khariV Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think that there's an adapter you can use with the Dewalt OMT to let it use any brand blade, though I'd have to dig mine out to see if such a thing actually exists or if I'm just making $hit up. Cutting a notch into a blade isn't my thing. I'd just be too concerned that I would weaken the structure or somehow deform the attachment plate on something that's vibrating really, really fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dewalt does come with the adapter for using the Bosch blades it bolts on underneath he use it on his dewalt and nicks my bladesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes, The DeWalt OMT does have an easy to use adapter. I will also add, that one can buy a S*** ton of OMT blades for either style, for next to nothing on Amazon and E-bay. And yes, they are a decent quality, actually surprisingly good quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy_chippy Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I actually tried doing this the other day, but the little holes that lock the blade in position dont line up, so you have to resort to using the supplied adapter and bolt them on ?
