Vecturo/Supercut blades to Bosch OIS?

[pingvinlakrits]

I have a quick-in Supercut which I am very happy with though I could use a battery powered multicutter at times.
I won't get a Supercut 18V since I don't want yet another 18V system/charger in the Sys-pile.

If Festool would release an 18V Vecturo I would be all set but considering they are probably not churning one out in the near future (or are they???) I am thinking of adding a Bosch 18V Multicutter to the kit. A bare unit would not set me back all that much and it would share batteries/charger with my Bosch 18V jigsaw.  I could easily pick one up monday morning and be done with it but I have a dilemma:

I am neck deep in Vecturo/Supercut blades. I recently bought a 30-pack of quality Supercut blades for $124 (yes, that is $4 a blade...) as I thought I was finally running out with only four/five blades left in the tool kit.

When I went to sort them out and put the surplus blades away I found my long lost cache of Fein original blades as well as a few Imperial blades in a small drawer and realized I now have close to 70 (!!!) blades, all sizes and types. So I am basically set for a decade or more with the blades as I go through roughly five-six blades a year. All are Supercut mount. With that in mind I would not want to buy any more blades - like ever - and here lies the real question:

Fitting Supercut to Bosch GOP Multicutter/OiS? Surely there must be an adapter for it?

I know there was one made by "Joaliff" somewhere in the UK but their website is nowhere to be found and I haven't been able to dig up any recent links pointing to their business. Seems like they are out?

Link to the type I am after:



Any help with sourcing an adapter is much appreciated.

I found a post from 11 months ago where he said he could be reached at:  joaliff@hotmail.com

I don't think you can.

The Bosch quick change mechanism wont allow it because it has a split shaft with 2 opposing grooves to hold the blade in, so there can be no added thickness.

Its a real pain because you cant use the smart brand blades which are a heck of a lot cheaper than the Bosch and Fein blades, and just as good.

It looks like it's actually Joa-liff@hotmail.com.

I have been trying to reach Joaliff but his website is down and has been for quite some time. He made that specific adapter which I was asking for.

Now things are a bit different as Fein and Bosch have two new standards and are dropping the OIS in favor of their own concoction.  [eek]

Your original post was AGES ago have you still yet to buy a cordless multi cutteR?

Well, my Supercut is doing so well and won't wear out + all the blades I have for it...
I briefly had a Bosch 18V multicutter but it felt like the battery would shake off and it was the least comfortable multicutter I have come across. It cuts fine though.

There are two options down the road: Vecturo arrives in 18V = yeay. I am fine with the Supercut blade mount and I have enough Festool 18V machines. This would be the best option for me. 

Buying a cordless Fein was put on hold when I was informed about the new blade mount co-op with Bosch. Then again with the 50+ blades I have I am better off with an 18V Vecturo than a new blade mount Fein - at least I have enough blades for a solid five - six years or so.
