32mm Bi-Metal Multitool Blade (Straight) - Wood Plastic and Metal - Pack of 10

32mm Bi-Metal Multitool Blade (Straight)

The TIMCO 32mm Straight Bi-Metal Multitool Blade is a premium M42 bi-metal oscillating tool blade designed for fine, clean cutting through softwood, hardwood, man-made board, plasterboard, plastic, and metal. The bi-metal construction combines a flexible High Carbon Steel body with a hardened High Speed Steel cutting edge, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fracture under the oscillating movement of the tool whilst maintaining a sharp, aggressive cutting edge across repeated cuts on tough materials. The 1.4mm fine tooth pitch delivers a clean, splinter-free cut finish on wood and plasterboard, and a controlled cut edge on plastic and metal, making it the correct blade for finish-quality cuts where a coarser tooth pitch would leave a rough edge requiring additional dressing. Universal quick release fitment means it mounts directly onto all major oscillating multi-tool brands without an adaptor. Supplied in a pack of 10 for trade use.

Why Choose the 32mm Bi-Metal Multitool Blade (Straight)

• M42 bi-metal construction: the HCS body absorbs the oscillating stress of the tool without fracturing whilst the HSS cutting edge maintains sharpness on hardwood, metal, and plastic significantly longer than standard HCS blades.

• 1.4mm fine tooth pitch for clean cuts: the fine tooth spacing produces a smooth, clean cut surface on wood, plasterboard, and plastic that requires minimal sanding or dressing before finishing, which saves time on precision joinery, plumbing, and electrical installation work.

• 42mm cutting depth: covers the full range of material thicknesses encountered in joinery, flooring, plumbing, and electrical installation work, from thin plastic trunking through to thick timber sections.

• Quick release universal fitment: the universal quick release mount fits all major oscillating multi-tool brands including Bosch, Milwaukee, Fein Multimaster, AEG, Einhell, Craftsman, Ridgid, Rockwell, Skil, Macallister, and Mastercraft, without requiring a brand-specific adaptor.

• Powder coated bi-metal body: the powder coating provides additional corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting, extending blade life and improving cut quality on materials where blade heat build-up is a concern.

• Suitable for plunge cutting: the straight profile and fine tooth geometry make this blade suitable for plunge cutting applications including vent and flooring installation, flush cutting nails, dowels, and tenons.

• Pack of 10 for trade use: supplied in a trade pack of 10 blades, reducing the per-blade cost compared to single blade purchasing and ensuring continuous availability on busy sites where blade changes are frequent.

Who Is This For?

The TIMCO 32mm Straight Bi-Metal Multitool Blade is aimed at joiners, electricians, plumbers, flooring contractors, and general construction trades who use oscillating multi-tools for precision cutting across wood, plastic, and metal on installation and finishing work. It suits the joiner flush cutting dowels, nails, and tenons during furniture and joinery installation, the electrician cutting plastic trunking and plasterboard for cable runs, the plumber cutting plastic pipe and timber in confined access conditions, and the flooring contractor plunge cutting timber for vent and underfloor installation work.

Typical Applications

• Flush cutting nails, dowels, screws, and tenons during joinery and furniture installation

• Plunge cutting timber for vent and flooring installation work

• Cutting plastic trunking, conduit, and pipe during electrical and plumbing installations

• Cutting plasterboard for electrical back boxes, socket outlets, and cable runs

• Cutting hardwood and softwood in confined access conditions where a saw cannot reach

• Cutting man-made board and MDF during kitchen and fitted furniture installation

• Undercutting door frames and architraves during flooring installation

• Fine cutting metal fixings and sheet metal during renovation and adaptation work

How to Use

1. Confirm your oscillating multi-tool uses a universal quick release fitment or is listed in the compatibility table above.

2. Fit the blade onto the tool's quick release mount, pressing firmly until it clicks into the locked position.

3. Select the correct oscillation speed for the material: lower speeds for metal and plastic, higher speeds for wood and plasterboard.

4. For plunge cuts, position the blade perpendicular to the surface and lower it slowly into the material at full operating speed.

5. Apply steady, light forward pressure. The fine tooth pitch cuts precisely without requiring excessive force.

6. For flush cuts, keep the blade flat against the reference surface to maintain an even cut line.

7. Inspect the blade after each use and replace when teeth show visible wear or cutting performance deteriorates.

Safety

• Eye protection to EN 166 is mandatory for all oscillating tool operations.

• Wear cut-resistant gloves to EN 388 when handling and changing blades.

• Always fit the blade guard supplied with your oscillating tool before operating.

• Locate concealed services before cutting through walls, floors, or ceilings.

• Never exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speed for the blade size in use.

Maintenance

• Inspect blades before each use for chipped, cracked, or missing teeth.

• Clean resin, plaster dust, and metal swarf from the blade after each use before storage.

• Store blades flat in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the cutting edge.

• Replace blades when cutting performance deteriorates rather than forcing a worn blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between bi-metal and standard HCS multitool blades?

 A: A standard HCS blade is manufactured from a single material throughout. A bi-metal blade combines a flexible HCS body with a hardened HSS cutting edge. The HSS teeth stay sharp significantly longer on tough materials including hardwood, metal, and plastic, whilst the flexible body resists fracture under oscillating tool stress. For trade use where blade life and cut quality matter, bi-metal is the correct specification.

Q: What does the 1.4mm tooth pitch mean for cut quality?

 A: Tooth pitch is the distance between individual teeth. A 1.4mm fine pitch means more teeth are in contact with the material at any point in the cut, which produces a smoother, cleaner cut surface with less tearing or splintering. This makes the 1.4mm pitch the correct choice for finish cuts on wood, plasterboard, and plastic where the cut edge will be visible or requires minimal dressing.

Q: Will this blade fit my oscillating multi-tool?

 A: The blade uses a universal quick release fitment compatible with all major oscillating multi-tool brands including Bosch, Milwaukee, Fein Multimaster, AEG, Einhell, Craftsman, Ridgid, Rockwell, Skil, Macallister, Mastercraft, and B and D, as well as many other multi-function oscillating power tools.

Q: Can this blade be used for plunge cutting?

 A: Yes. The straight profile and fine tooth geometry make this blade suitable for plunge cutting applications including vent and flooring installation, flush cutting nails, dowels, and tenons. Start the tool at full speed before contacting the surface and lower the blade slowly and steadily into the material.

Q: Why buy a pack of 10 rather than single blades?

 A: The pack of 10 reduces the per-blade unit cost significantly compared to single blade purchasing. For tradespeople who use a multitool daily, blade changes are frequent and running out mid-job costs more in downtime than the saving on a single blade purchase. A pack of 10 ensures continuous availability throughout a project.

Q: Why should I order from CMT Group?

 A: CMT Group has supplied UK construction sites since 2010 with next working day delivery on a FORS Silver accredited fleet covering 90% of the UK mainland. Orders placed online by 7pm qualify for next day delivery, and CMT's EDGE procurement portal provides agreed contract pricing and streamlined repeat ordering for trade accounts managing tool consumable spend across multiple projects.
