wish you'd setup a branch in the UK

that's an awful lot better than the price I paid for fein blades...

 

[Sean7a]

Tis the kicker John, they're almost half the price of OEM blades from Fein and just about equal in quality if not better.

Heck yeah Gary.  We've got an entire wall dedicated to Imperial blades.

Take a look at the WSE blades and adaptors from Germany. All their blades can cut nails even the Japanese style toothing as they are all Bi-metal, far longer lasting than the standard blades and promoted by Festool Australia.

The issue I have this this product is that they only fit  only at 90 degree changes.  To make a Multimaster effective I don't know anyone that uses the the blade at 90 degree more than a bit of the time.  I have to say that I'm using the blade at 45 degrees 99% of the time.  It is so much more controllable, that anyone I have shown this only goes to 90 degree when absolutely need to reach the project. 

I hope this is clear.

I don't have an issue with the blade quality...but have an issue that I can't put it at 45 degrees. Fix that and I'm on board.

Hmm...most likely need to add images if this is confusing.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the input Steve.  Imperial is a small, open, young and bright company.  They're open to any sort of constructive criticism, I'll be sure to pass this on.  Makes total sense.

We have had these blades for some time now.
We like them! they are a bit thicker than Fein but this helps with the heat,
but this does tend to make them just a bit slower.
BUT if you hit a hard nail  it's way cheaper!!

I don't know about Festool Australia endorsing WSE, a Fein aftermarket product John......... [blink]

Maybe you saw them at the Ideal Tools website? [wink]

I just looked at the idealtool site and the cost of the WSE blades are more than the Fein blades. They would have to last a lot longer than the Fein to over come cost and needing to use a tool to change a blade.

WSE say 5 times longer, plus 80% of the Fein sales of blades are wood cutting only, all the WSE blades can cut nails event the Japanese style toothed blades. Being Bi-metal and thinner than the Fein they have less of a kerf as well.

Have you gotten 5x more life out of them?

I do agree that the Fein, die when you hit a nail.

I have chipped a tooth on one Japanese style blade but that hit cement render as the skirting board was in a tricky spot.
I'm still on the same blades as I started with last July, cutting oak, ply, mdf, plasterboard and finding more little jobs all the time.
They have just brought out a couple of new blades, one of which is 100mm long, aimed at window installers and a blade with  serrated sides to clear the waste when cutting plasterboard or drywall. I haven't tried them yet.

My bad, you're right John!

 

[John Bates]

I've got to say I didn't quite believe it, but he's the local and I'm sure well in the know.
In France they were Wurth's no 1 seller in 2009. Like Festool, the quality makes the justification.

Sounds good.

I do have to say I have had very good luck with the Fine long tooth wood blades.

It is the universal that seem to ware out in just a few cuts....and if you hit a nail you're done.

I don't see the serrated sided blades. Where did you find those?

Cheers,
Steve
