Vecturo Adapter

[Ricky25]

Hi Guys,

I came across this adapter in my kit, but unfortunately I have no idea which blades I can use this with?  Anyone know what this configuration is called?  [huh]

To the best of my knowledge, that is for use with the original, old, Vecturo blades.

Picture:

It won't work with OIS or current Starlock. Not sure if it works with the old "Fein Supercut" blades.

It is also not really an Adapter, but the locking-pin of the quick change mechanism.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Mmmm, this is a 6-sided hexagon shape. This doesn't fit for the old style blades.

It looks like it fell out, or it's intended to adapt the OS 400 to a hexagonal style blade.

This post from [member=44099]Cheese[/member] shows the adapter to use Starlock blades on an OS 400 or Fein.  The reverse, OS 400 blades on an OSC, is not possible.

Ah yes, I have that adapter for my OS 400. But this hexagon one is strange ...  [laughing]

It is the original pin.

Good catch, thanks Oliver!

That is the original Fein Supercut style blade holder.  There is a Fein adapter that allows using any available style  blades.  I’ve had the Supercut for a long time. I use Fein and Festool blades that work directly, but my favorite blades are Bosch, especially the curved as it is soooo much easier to start a cut.
