Fine Cut (MTB‑FC) Blades

Fine Cut (MTB‑FC) Blades are oscillating multi‑tool blades designed to deliver smooth, accurate
cuts with a high‑tooth, fine‑cut profile. Ideal for detail work in wood, laminates and plastics,
these blades are perfect for kitchen and bathroom fit‑outs, flooring, trim work, and any
application where a clean, precise finish is essential.

Fine Cut (MTB‑FC) Blades are engineered for applications where cut quality matters as much as
speed. A fine, closely spaced tooth pattern is designed to shear fibres cleanly, producing neat
edges with minimal breakout on timber, laminates and many plastics. This makes them particularly
suitable for visible surfaces such as architraves, skirtings, door linings, laminate floors and
furniture panels.

The MTB‑FC multi‑tool fitting is designed to suit a wide range of oscillating multi‑tools from
major brands (always check compatibility and adapter requirements). The blade shape allows for
controlled plunge, slot and trim cuts close to surfaces, which is essential for refurbishments
and installations in confined areas.

These blades are best used where accuracy and finish take priority over aggressive material
removal – for example, cutting in tight to flooring, trimming door jambs to clear new floors,
or creating neat access holes in panels and furniture.

Typical Use Cases

• Trimming door linings and architraves to clear laminate or engineered flooring.
• Neat cut‑outs in kitchen units, plinths and backs for pipework and cables.
• Adjusting skirtings, mouldings and decorative trims.
• Fine cutting in softwood, hardwood trims and furniture components.
• Cutting access holes in plywood, chipboard and similar sheet materials where a clean edge is required.

Usage & Application Tips

• Use for fine work: Reserve MTB‑FC blades for finish cuts in wood and plastics; use more aggressive or bi‑metal blades for demolition and metal.
• Let the blade cut: Apply light, steady pressure; forcing the blade increases heat and can spoil the cut edge.
• Select moderate speed: Medium tool speeds usually give the best balance of control and finish in wood and laminates.
• Mark the cut clearly: Use a sharp pencil, tape or guide to ensure accurate, straight cuts on visible surfaces.
• Support the workpiece: Clamp or support trims and panels to reduce vibration and improve cut quality.

Technical Information (Typical)

Fine Cut (MTB-FC) Blades Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Fine Cut (MTB-FC) Blades Common Uses / How to Use

To get the best from Fine Cut (MTB‑FC) Blades:

1. Confirm your oscillating multi‑tool is compatible with MTB‑FC blades or fit the correct adapter.
2. Select the blade width that best suits the job (narrow for detail, wider for longer straight cuts).
3. Fit the blade securely according to your tool manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Mark your cut line clearly on the workpiece.
5. Set the tool to a medium speed and start it before gently engaging the blade with the material.
6. Guide the blade along the line with light, steady pressure, allowing the teeth to do the cutting.
7. Inspect the blade regularly and replace it when teeth become dull or damaged to maintain a fine finish.
