Harbor Freight has a generic one "similar" to the $399 Fein Multimaster for
only $39.99
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=67256">http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=67256</a> 

I have one - it is NOT a Fein but it costs $40 NOT $400  &lt;VBG&gt;


Also Sears has a copy  for $99 that's 12v (cordless)  This I haven't tried .

As Stuart said they are very cool tools.  But large to get inside a fuse.
I expanded a closet into a spare bedroom and cut the crown molding to fit
without taking it down! With the Harbor Freight one.

The "new" tool in woodworking is a vibrating multi use tool (not that 
use)  Cuts, sands etc.  Here is Fein's version 
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fein.de/fein-multimaster/us/en/main/">http://www.fein.de/fein-multimaster/us/en/main/</a>
The cutting part is cool.  Just hold the saw edge to the area to cut and 
it plunges in.  No reciprocating saw blades or rotary wheels to make the 
tool go flying.  Works like a cast saw that your orthopedist would use.

I am really surprised that a maker of power tools for modelers hasn't 
put one on the market already.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] New Tool?

I've been having some problems doing some sawing work in some close
quarters lately, particularly inside fuselages.  Manual saws leave a
lot to be desired and you can't do a very good job, unless you have
more dexterity and skill than I've been able to muster.

It would be great if there was a powered axial oscillating saw that
was no bigger in diameter and length than a Dremel Tool, preferably
smaller and shorter.  Does such a tool exist, or did I just invent
the idea?

Ron Van Putte.
