Buying guide
Match the mount first
Universal (OIS) blades fit most tools with a pin or clamp. Starlock, StarlockPlus and StarlockMax blades lock in three dimensions with less wobble, and many fit OIS tools too, but Starlock tools accept only Starlock-family blades. Check your tool before choosing a kit.
Choose the material for the job
High-carbon steel is for softwood, plastic and drywall. Bi-metal handles hardwood, nails and soft metal. Carbide lasts far longer on screws, bolts and hard materials. Grout and tile need carbide-grit or diamond blades.
Know the shapes
Straight plunge blades make pocket cuts and undercut jambs. Segmented, half-moon blades make flush cuts along floors and walls. Scrapers remove adhesive and caulk, and triangle pads sand into corners.
Kit or single blades?
A kit is the cheapest way to cover many jobs. Once you know which blades you use most, buy those in multi-packs, especially carbide, which costs more per blade but lasts much longer.
FAQ
Are oscillating tool blades universal?
Many are. Universal or OIS blades fit most non-Starlock tools, sometimes with an adapter. Starlock-family blades fit Starlock tools and many OIS tools, but not every brand, so check the listing.
Which oscillating blade lasts longest?
Carbide. Makers claim many times the life of bi-metal: Diablo claims up to 50 times for its AMPED carbide blades. Bi-metal outlasts high-carbon steel, which dulls quickly on anything hard.
What blade should I use for hardwood?
A bi-metal blade with Japanese-style teeth, such as the PRO-CURVE blade in Milwaukee’s kit or EZARC’s Japanese-tooth blades. Switch to carbide if the wood might hide nails.
Can I use Starlock blades on an OIS tool?
Often, yes. Bosch and Diablo list their Starlock blades as fitting many OIS tools from Bosch, Fein, Milwaukee, Makita and Ridgid. The reverse doesn’t work: a Starlock tool won’t accept OIS-only blades.
