Fein Multimaster

The New MM has stated 40% more power than the last. Which model MM were your comparing to the SuperCut? The newest MM has a quick release that can break your finger. And is it the power rating or the angle of oscillation that makes the difference.

I love the new quick release finger breaker model...

what do you mean?

Someone stated that the SC has atleast twice the power of the MM. I was wondering if that was because the motor was twice as strong or it had to do with the fact that the SC has a longer degree of oscillation. The rep at Woodcraft said that the new MM has the same motor as the SC.

I love the finger breaker attachment too. It's great for changing angles on the fly. But, damn that machine is one loud high pitched SOB.

And if you spend too much time in one spot, don't forget to wet it down or else you might be makin' charcoals.

I used it to cut out plaster slats, studs and baseboard, and even notch a floor and cut drywall from a wall, all in one day. It's a great demo tool. You can cut out drywall, to fix something from behind the wall, and use that piece as the patch. It cuts that clean.

Used my old one today to cut caulking loose for exterior trim replacement.
10 years old and works just great, plus I know how to use it for a bunch of stuff it wasn't intended for.
And for you dirty minded guys, don't even go there

I have the new model with quick change blade.
Tried the $5.99 blades from harbour frieght and they seem to work pretty good especially for the price.

Good choice also if you know you are going to ruin a blade.
Tried on wood but I also was using to cut caulk between door trim and hard asbestos siding.

I havn't got the specs in front of me, but I beleive the MM is 2amp motor and the SC is 4amp. Used mine two weeks ago to cut out baseboard so we could add backband to existing casings. There were about 26 doors, both sides. Boy I'm glad I have this tool!
