5.0 out of 5 stars This thing saved me some big money., August 11, 2006

This attachment came with my 400 XPR. My first impression, when I saw it and put it on the XPR, was that this thing is going to be a pain to control.
But one incident completely changed my mind.
I have a house that was built in the 50's and the doors and the door knobs are all from the time that the house was built.
A few of the inside door knobs quit working properly so I went and got some new knobs.
The standard door knobs now have different depths and diameters than the originals on my doors.
I had my choice; buy all new doors and knobs or break out this Dremel MultiSaw attachment and go crazy.
Man does this thing work great!!!
It got around in those doors like a hot knife through melted butter.
It uses blades for most standard jigsaws, so I had other blades around.
This thing saved me the cost of buying all new doors for my house. I recut three dorr knob holes and the latch holes in a matter of 20 minutes and installed the new knobs in 10 more.
If you don't have this for your XPR, get it!!

Nothing in the Amazon listing warned me of this.

The box and front of the owner manual say "For use with Dremel 400 Series XPR."

Page 5 of the manual says "For use with Dremel 400 Series XPR Rotary tool only."

(Subsequent models 4000 and 8200 are also compatible.)

Reviewer "Osama I. J. Deir" says it works with his Dremel 395 series tool, and I was able to attach and run it with mine. But 2 gray plastic tabs at the saw's connection point prevent it from seating well.

Ironically, you could use your Dremel to grind off the tabs and get a better connection to your non-XPR Dremel tool.

But I am returning my MultiSaw because Dremel is telling me in multiple ways that it's not a good idea. Maybe it's overload issue...who knows?

Nice that Amazon returns are super easy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect too much., November 10, 2009

I was very disappointed in this tool. I bought it to cut out a 12" x 6" panel in 1/4" thick fiberglass with 1/16" aluminum on one surface. Since it used standard jig saw blades, I figured it would be up to the task.

The primary reason I used this item rather than a jig saw is that I had a restricted area where the jig saw would not fit.

It made it about half way through the job when it quit working. When I disassembled it, I found it had nylon (or perhaps simply plastic) gears, which were rounded smooth. The manual does caution against running the tool too fast, and I did heed that, but its supposed to be able to cut through 1 1/2" material, so I figured it should have worked for my application. But at any rate, for almost $30, it should have metal gears.

Unless you are cutting thin or soft material, get something heftier, like a pneumatic saw.
