Buying guide
Bi-metal or carbide?
Bi-metal blades cut the odd nail and cost less, but their teeth wear quickly on steel. Carbide teeth stay sharp through many nails and screws; makers claim up to 30 to 50 times the life of bi-metal. If you hit nails often, carbide is cheaper in the long run.
Check the mount
Carbide blades come in both universal (OIS) and Starlock fittings. Diablo’s AMPED blades suit DeWalt, Craftsman and other universal tools; Bosch and Diablo Starlock blades suit Starlock and many OIS tools.
Slow down on the nail
Drop the speed when you reach a nail, use light pressure and rock the blade slightly so only a few teeth cut at once. Forcing the blade overheats the teeth and snaps them.
Protect your eyes
Cutting nails throws hot metal fragments. Wear safety glasses, keep your free hand clear of the cut line, and let the blade cool between long cuts.
FAQ
Can an oscillating tool cut through nails?
Yes, with the right blade. Bi-metal blades handle the occasional nail, and carbide blades cut nails, screws and bolts repeatedly without losing their teeth.
Which oscillating blade lasts longest on nails?
Carbide-tooth blades such as the Diablo AMPED and Bosch OSL114C. Diablo claims up to 50 times the life of bi-metal for its AMPED blades.
Why do my blades lose their teeth on nails?
Usually because the blade is high-carbon steel, the speed is too high or there is too much pressure. Switch to bi-metal or carbide, slow down at the nail and let the blade do the work.
Will a nail blade cut screws and bolts?
Carbide general-purpose and metal blades will. Reviewers report Diablo’s DOU125CGP cutting stainless bolts in under 10 seconds. Bi-metal nail blades are not made for hardened screws or bolts.
