Vecturo or Supercut

[Samtor]

The dust collector on the fein multimaster worked very well on drywall dust, especially when cutting ceilings/walls.  It does make it a little odd to handle, but frees up a hand vs holding the vac tube there yourself.

Do you have the part number?
I thought the dust collector for multimaster is for sanding not cutting?
Thanks.

The Supercut actually does have a dust collection attachment for cutting, it is a cast aluminum piece that attaches to the top front.
I bought mine from Beaver Tool -  Fein 92602075018 DUST EXTRACTOR
Beaver also sells all the blades available and various assortments for different trades.

There appears to be 2 dust collection attachments for cutting:

92602084010 and 92602075018

Anybody knows the difference?

It would be nice if they fit the vecturo.

hello,
I'm looking at a multi-tool for grout removal in 2 showers and I am trying to decide between the new Multimaster and a SuperCut or the Vecturo.  Toolnut has the Fein FMM350QTOP Multimaster Oscillating Tool Kit for $349 and the Fein FSC 2.0Q Edition Wood SuperCut Interior Construction Oscillating Tool Kit - Packaged in Systainer for the aformentioned $419.  Is the current Supercut missing some features that the Vecturo has, because that is a great price!

Samtor, I'm pretty sure they are the same beast, they certainly look the same.  hbrngr... the grout dust collector I mentioned for the Supercut does not fit the Multimaster.

For tile work your best option is a rotozip with a diamond bit.  I have used the Multimaster for years and think its a great tool for everything but grout removal..  Even with a diamond bit its a slow process removing grout.  The rotozip is very fast.  Make sure when you regrout use a grout enhancer that will keep mold from forming.  Some grouts already have it in.

I would get the Super Cut,  it comes with an adapter to use Mulimaster blades.  You can get Multimaster blades at every home center now.  Festool blades are only sold at Festool Dealers and there blades come with a premium price.  I think its nice to have an option to use blades from different companys and find out what works best for you.  I am a professional and use my Fein Multimaster every day and its a great tool.    My favorite blades right now are tbe bosch wood with nails blades.  I get a 3 pack from my home center for around $30.

I am still reading this thread with great interest. Keep the comments coming!

rst,

Is this the dust collector that you would use for grout?

Tyler,

could you link or post a part number for the diamond bit you would recommend for grout removal?  the Rotozip is a much less expensive option for that.  I could then get the supercut kit for more general jobs like close trim work, dry wall cuts, etc.

For tile work your best option is a rotozip with a diamond bit.  I have used the Multimaster for years and think its a great tool for everything but grout removal..  Even with a diamond bit its a slow process removing grout.  The rotozip is very fast.  Make sure when you regrout use a grout enhancer that will keep mold from forming.  Some grouts already have it in.

I found the bits at Lowes and they were labeled as grout removal.    They were rotozip brand.  They have 1/8 and 1/4 inch bits depending on your grout joint.  I will post a picture from rotozips site.  Just remember to keep the bit cool.

Tyler,
Thanks for the quick reply. Didn't mean to get the discussion too offtrack. Anyways, it seems that the Supercut is a little more versatile then then Vecturo at the moment--due to it's dust removal capabilities and also for its' attractive pricing.  I'm still not clear if the Vecturo is a more advanced version of the current Supercut, and if the new Supercut that will be coming out will have the same features as the Vecturo.  If anyone knows, please reply!

I thought the dust collection part only worked with sanding attachments ? Never thought of using it when cutting.

Can anyone link or post a pic of a Fein Supercut with the Dust extractor attachments on it?  All I can find are pictures of the part.  http://beavertools.com/product-url-41836.html

I am trying to determine how effective it would be for grout removal--as it is not cheap.

Thanks for posting that question. I've been wondering about the dust extractor attachment too.

Thanks for posting the video!

It does look like the dust extractor attachment would work nicely when using any cutting blade.  Can anyone validate that dust extractor attachment will attach to the Vecturo?  The Vecturo and Supercut seem to be almost identical but there isn't a clear picture in the video of how the dust extractor attaches to the Supercut so I just want to make sure.  I'm being cautious here since it would seem to me that Festool would offer this dust extractor attachment for the Vecturo if it worked given their company focus on dust extraction.

It also seems like it would be nice if there was a right angle vacuum adapter so the hose would route right back towards the power cord along the length of the tool instead of coming away from the tool at a 90 degree angle.

Thanks again

I bought the SuperCut about the time the Vecturo was announced...knowing I needed an oscillating tool...I bought the Fein...I chose the SuperCut because I could get on in a Systainer...as I had recently adopted the Festool System...I wanted the Systainer. The SuperCut has a very long cord -a plus. I looked into the dust hood...as I was mainly using to cut plaster cleanly for a remodel. I ended up holding my CT36 hose in my grip of the Fein. In my area...SuperCut blades aren't prevalent...Multimaster are...I've used the Imperial blades which are a good bargain in my opinion. I do want the Vecturo's features (plunge base, depth stop)...

My only gripe on the SuperCut...is really the too small systainer...it's awfully hard to fit the tool and the long cord in there.

 

[hrbngr]

nice video on the dust shroud!...seems like a worthy, albeit expensive addition.

I have finally decided to go ahead and get an oscillating tool now that one would have paid for itself many times over the last decade or so.  I read through this thread again, and as far as I can tell, I have these choices:

- Fein Multimaster 350Q in a Sys 1 with several blades and attachments (including dust collection) for $300
- same Fein in a bag with one blade and sanding pad for $200
- Vecturo with plunge base, depth stop, and several blades in a Sys 2 for $600
- Vecturo with one blade in a Sys 2 for $440

My first response is to go for the $300 set, but I wanted to check in and see if I'm missing anything here.  I can't justify the premium price for the depth stop and plunge base alone.  Is the Sys 2 that big of a deal?  I think I saw the suggestion of getting the $200 Fein and buying a Sys-2 w/insert for another $100, but that gives up the dust collection attachment and the other extra accessories.  I like Plug-It cords, but not for an extra $140.

Can anyone make a compelling case for any of the other options?

I think the $300 option gets you going on the osc. tool without too much of an outlay. Already having a few blades and attachments may give you enough to work with for a start, then add the specific things you discover you need. I wouldn't base a tool purchase on systainer or not, infact a Sys combi with one drawer and might be the best choice of systainer for the osc tool..
