6 MULTITOOL CUTTING MISTAKES! (How to Cut Straight With a Multitool...AVOID THESE COMMON ERRORS!)
Oscillating Multitools are one of the most useful tools for DIYers and remodelers, especially due to their cutting/sawing function. However, using a multitool can be tricky because of its unique shape. This short video from the Honest Carpenter will show you several Multitool tips and mistakes!
Multitools are awkward to use because of their straight-line shape. They're kind of like a flashlight, with a tubular handle that is also the motor housing. They take a little finesse to use, and a good system for cutting.
Mistake #1: Failure to brace your cutting position--Be sure to rest part of your hand, or wrist or arm on a stable surface, usually your cutting surface, before you initiate cutting. This will keep the multitool stable and help you make a clean cut.
Mistake #2: Failure to score a cut line--Before you just start plunging the blade, etch a fine kerf with the multitool, about 1/16" to 1/8" deep, all the way across your cut line. This will sever the top layers of wood, and give you a good line/groove to follow for the cut.
Mistake #3: Choosing the wrong blade--Check the tooth length on your multitool wood-cutting blade. Really long blade teeth are better for rough, aggressive, fast cuts. Finer teeth are better for slower, finer, more controlled cuts.
Mistake #4: Overdriving the cut--It's never a good idea to take too much material on one cut pass. This will often just bind the blade. Instead, focus on SWEEPING YOUR CUT LINE with the multitool blade. This will clear waste, and driving your cut slowly, with control.
Mistake #5: Cutting on Low Speeds--Cutting wood works better with high blade speeds. Variable speed triggers confuse this issue on multitools. For wood-cutting, rev to your max speed and keep the multitool saw pinned there the entire time.
Mistake #6: Using dull blades--This is kind of a universal rule, but especially true for multitools. Be sure your blades are sharp when cutting. Dull blades will bind and jam. Change blades often, if necessary.
Thanks for watching!

I think I realized why I like this guy so much... he manages to condense complicated processes into an intuitive, conversational, never patronizing, lesson. He would have made an amazing teacher. Whether you've never touched this tool in your life, or you've used it 1000x, he just perfectly (in a few min) explained all the things to consider bf starting and fixes for every common problem. Now I'm far from a pro, but I like to approach every problem/ new skill this way. Plan in advance, attempt to execute, but when complications inevitably arise EXAMINE WHY. Try to learn from the experience and minimize that error going forward. As long as you're always improving, you should end up in a good place ; ) Way to go Honest! Love all your content.

I’ve been using a multi tool for years. Here are a few useful tips: If you need a precise straight line, use a blade with a curve(He showed one from diablo ). This prevent the chatter you get with a long straight blade. There are ones that look like a half circle to get tight to a wall/floor without cutting into it. Also you shouldn’t do a hard plunge as the video showed. A sweeping motion works best so the blade will not get excessively hot. I find this is one of the most valuable tool I have. Great video.

I’m a flooring contractor that mainly install Tile and hardwoods. So I’m probably not the best person to ask about cheap blades. I use the Festool multi-tool. I like it best over Fien, Mikita, Dewalt(i’ve owned all in the past). Festool accept all the star lock style blades. I mainly buy Bosch blades. I love that most have a curve for cleaner cuts. Whether you are a hobbyist or in the trade, the most important thing is using the correct type of blade for the job. Example: if you are using a wood blade and hit a nail, then your blade is toast. You should have used a bimetal blade. But if you need to cut harden screw then fien has a perfect blade. Maybe for a hobbyist, I think imperial makes decent blades for the cheaper end of the scale.

I've been a carpenter/woodworker for over 35 years, everything from new home construction, remodels, home improvements, cabinet shops, boats, fine art furniture, set building, and so on - I used a corded version of one of these things last year while in Georgia building a bar in a pals home. It blew my mind, I still have and am using tools I purchased 30 years ago (I still use the 7-1/4" Makita circular saw I bought in 1987) - I finally decided to start upgrading my tool to the Makita 18/36v system, amazing stuff. Makita has a subcompact line that are all black in color so I've purchased a couple of those tools including the multi tool and used it on a job for the first time last week, it's like a surgical tool with very little vibration at all. I'm super stoked - Even bought the dual battery 7-1/4" circular saw - SO nice to "cut the cord" FINALLY - The work goes by faster with a lot less aggravation from dealing with cords I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work

Just splurged on the Milwaukee M18 Fuel OMT. Only played with it a few minutes but can already tell it's going to be one of my favorite tools ever. Tons of uses for a DIY home reno. One nice feature of the Milwaukee is that it doesn't have a trigger. You just turn it on. So no cramped fingers ever. You can adjust the speed with a dial or rely on the "auto" setting to keep the speed right.

Great tips, I will say that I think the the shallow pass back and forth technique is really only necessary when cutting through something that has another material behind it that you don't want to cut, (which is most of what the tool is good for admittedly) but if you're cutting all the way through something with air behind it (like cutting a rectangular hole on a wall for an outlet junction box) I like to score the cut line then plunge all the way through at one end and turn the saw at least 45 degrees so I can use the cutting edge and follow my line

I love my multi-tool. Here are a couple of tips from my experience: You can buy special anti-vibration gloves which are great when using bulky vibrating tools. I discovered them when I worked in the auto industry, as they are great at preventing pain and fatigue when working with a big impact for a long period of time. They also work great when using my multi-tool for a long period of time too. I find that in a lot of cases the round blades do not bind as much as the straight ones. They are really useful for certain types of cuts. The sanding block is great too. The triangle tip on them allows you to get into corners where an orbital sander can't get to. The quick change feature on the newer tools is great too, and being able to put any of the blades or sanding block at a 90 degree gives you some extra flexibility in tighter spaces too.

A little paint and it looks like new, no rot, and the PVC will outlast the rest of those boards! P.S. My 6 year old daughter loves "One Hot Spark" so far.

You didn’t show it but I could use that thing with the blade sticking out sideways and it helped a lot because you could get a better grip on it working on different confined space that straight was not an option. You are definitely correct about the quality and price I’ll buy the cheap ones for wood, but for metal and tile only The expensive ones will work plus you could get sanding attachments for wood and for rugged surfaces.

I'm an old man nearing retirement age and have very little knowledge of power tools. Your very smooth and informative presentation was a joy to watch, I'm a new subscriber!

Thank you, Mark! I’m working on an online course for my website (currently being rebuilt) that will explain everything to know about the 20 most important power tools. It should be live in July! 🙂

Great video as always! I've been shopping around for a multitool but haven't worked with one often before so I wasn't sure what to look for. This gave me some valuable tips not only for buying but obviously also for when I finally start using my own! God bless!

I did the research and test drove all three Milwaukee 18v(don’t get 12v the battery falls out) Dewalt (like the video) Fein (corded) The Milwaukee has the same power as a corded fein, and the auto speed option does the thinking for me, having dewalts trigger might sounds good but I was always second guessing myself therefore I wasn’t concentrating on accuracy , think of trigger option it like a pen you always have to pump for ink ….nah …just supply the continuous ink while I work on motion in my handwriting

@@paulpham9216 Thanks a lot! I'm from South Africa so we have a VERY nice Bosch option available here 400W GOP40-30. It's corded but has an exceptional reputation. Pricey, though.
