The blade's carbide grit quickly and neatly removes old grout, and its 90-degree edge allows access in corners.

Additionally, the kit comes with a drywall/soft wood blade that neatly plunges and cuts and is great for longer straight cuts.

The Multi-Max even has a rigid scraper blade, which is best-suited for removing stuck vinyl flooring, carpeting, and carpet padding. It has a scraping edge on three sides and is offset for flush surface scraping.

Lightweight and compact, the Multi-Max is a pleasure to handle and hold. Its comfortable design minimizes wrist and hand fatigue, even during intricate, prolonged work. It also accesses tight corners and narrow spaces that conventional saws and sanders simply can't reach.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value - not for commerical use, January 4, 2010

This review is from: Dremel 6300-03 120-Volt Multi-Max Oscillating Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Got the tool for Christmas. Needed it for undercutting baseboard as well as cut aluminum from my front door frame to fit in my new front-door threshold. As some of the other folks in these reviews, the tool wood-cutting bit kept on coming loose. I was afraid of tightening it too much, but after it came loose again-and-again after about 5 minutes of use I decided to tighten it until could feel the motor turning. This time it did not come loose as easily but I am not sure how long it will handle this - so far so good. It does however still come loose when I hit a hard spot, like when I encounter a nail or when it touched the cement floor when cutting the baseboard or if you force it - let the tool do the work.

If you want a tool that you can force and use for hours on end, you need to consider another, and needless to say a considerably more expensive tool. It is good value for money, and if you - like me - undercut lots of baseboard manually with a jam saw before you got this tool, you will find this tool a great time-saver and an absolute pleasure to use.

Just as side note I have only used the wood and wood-metal bits and have not used it to cut pipes, grout, etc, just used it to cut a small notch out of an aluminum door frame and the baseboards. I did use it to trim the edge of a custom-cut laminate flooring piece as I was too lazy to use the circular saw and it burns the wood but it did manage to trim 1mm off of it none the less.

Pros: Lightweight, relatively inexpensive, easy to use, great time-saver over manually cutting door-jams.
Cons: Thick (solid-wood) stair jams (not sure what this is called, the wood trim on either side of my stairs that run all the way down the stairs and meet the concrete floor where I installed the laminate flooring and had to undercut the wood trim to slide the laminate underneath, about 2in thick solid wood) took a while to cut and burns the wood with smoke pouring out of the wood (probably other oscillating tools will do the same), the heat that comes from the tool after about 5 minutes of continuous cutting is excessive, the bit that comes loose again-and-again is my biggest concern as now that I tighten it real good (until I can feel the motor turning) am not sure how long it will last before something strips or breaks but since it still holds have to give it the benefit of the doubt, the casing it comes in is very cheap, the custom bits are expensive (like the sander).

2.0 out of 5 stars Underpowered, and HOT to hold, December 22, 2009

By 

mallione - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dremel 6300-03 120-Volt Multi-Max Oscillating Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

The air vents are positioned right where you place your hands, so for the first few minutes the tool is usable, but after that, i.e., for use on anything but the most trivial of jobs the tool gets so hot that you have to move your hand(s) to the back of the tool, away from the power head, and becase of the leverage problem, you will probably find yourself using TWO hand hands to attempt to control the blade.

If your only purpose is to cut the bottom of a casing from time to time or some other trivial task, this inexpensive alternative to the fein is acceptable (although, that said, the Rockwell is getting better reviews in this tool class).

But, if you are thinking to add this to your shop as a 'real tool', forget it, you will only be disappointed.

In addition to the heat problem, the blades are of questionalble quality. I note that the scraper blade actually BROKE after less than 15 minutes of continuous operation.

Oh, nearly forgot to mention that regardless of how tight I cranked the cutting blade down, it kept coming loose. Really. No doubt because I was working the tool pretty hard, but ... when was the last time ANY tool let go of a blade. Unforgivable.

This review is from: Dremel 6300-03 120-Volt Multi-Max Oscillating Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this item a few weeks ago with the purpose of using it for two things, plunge cutting drywall for removal of sections all ready in place instead of using a blade (using the half moon blade for Drywall and wood). Also removing some grout (1/8 blade, purchased from another source), and in both cases it has worked without issue.

When plunge cutting drywall it actually works quickly and like stated with low dust kick-up, when going down a line it does take about 5 minutes to do a 8ft wall, but doing a outlet box takes just a minute. If have ever used a Roto-Zip it is a dust pig, this is not, but also a Roto-Zip I must say is more powerful and wild at times because it wants to rip through everything.

I do agree with others that the venting on the machine is in a poor location, you do want to hold it at the top for control, instead of the actual hand grip area, but depnding on angle and different attachments this may be a issue no matter where the venting is because of wanting to place your hand for best control at that time.

Overall it does what I wanted it for... low low dust compared to other power tools.
