Oscillating questions, Dremel Blade on HF tool and .

[ChevyEFI]

Couple quick questions for those who know.

Will the Dremel Universal blades (like an MM485U) fit a 4-nib attachment-style HF oscillating tool like a HF 60428?

Would that specific (carbide) blade, drug backwards at an angle, clear paint off concrete foundation?

Thanks!

The HF blades have a larger center hole than the Dremel from what I can tell, I tried to put a HF blade on my Dremel and it physically fit, but there was enough slack that it works itself off while using it.
The Dremel blade may work in the HF and be a tighter fit or it may be too small of a center hole, someone here will know for sure.

The HF takes Imperial, Fein, & most other brands. In fact the only blade I have that won't fit on my HF tool actually is one of the older HF ones. I do have one of the (forget the brand) adapters with the pegs and that does ok but ultimately it's not perfect on any blade either.

Dremel blades & tool are one of the few that don't play well with anything. Best I could suggest is try it but don't hope for much.

However I don't know how well your plan is going to work. how much concrete? sounds like if it's more than a square foot you're planning on a week long project.

Thanks guys.

The Dremel brand looked like it could work, but not in a way that I could immediately tell without measurement or test fit. That's why I asked.

Dad's enthusiasm for home projects is different than my own, and I will leave it at that. He's here for about another week.
