Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel MS400 MultiSaw AttachmentCustomer Review: More useful than I expected Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical whether this would be any good but got it as part of the XPR kit and was pleasantly surprised that it actually works quite well. No, it is not a replacement for a full size jigsaw or reciprocating saw if you are doing large amounts of work, but it is quite handy for small jobs or small spaces.
I bought a second flex shaft so that I could attach the multisaw to the end of the shaft and fit it in even smaller spaces, I used gorilla tape to attach them since the shaft end is not threaded. It works great and makes the saw much easier to handle.
I also use the saw as a makeshift detail sander, I got a long carbide jigsaw blade for cutting glass (less flexible than standard blade) and dulled the blade teeth using the dremel with a diamond burr. Then I just wrap the blade with sandpaper and clamp it using small binder clips (or carpet tape if the spot is really tight). This has saved me from spending a fortune on the EZ lock finishing abrasive wheels which work well but wear out very quickly. I was on the verge of spending $400 on a Fein multimaster and while looking at its profile sanding attachment I got the idea to try this. Works better than any detail sander I have seen other than the multimaster which is amazing but way overpriced. I use the 3M sandblaster sandpaper which is backed with a rubber web, its expensive but lasts forever and the rubber backing keeps it from sliding off.
