• Useful for accurate plunge cutting and flush cutting in tight areas.
• Very flexible with quick accessory changes for different tasks.
• Suitable for DIY projects and professional use.
   

Common Uses

1. Cutting
   • Plunge Cuts: Ideal for cutting holes in plasterboard for electrical boxes or switches.
   • Flush Cuts: Perfect for trimming door frames, skirting boards, or flooring.
   • Material Types: Wood, plasterboard, plastics, and non-ferrous metals (with the correct blade).
      
2. Sanding
   • Smooth rough timber or surfaces.
   • Sand between coats of paint or varnish for a professional finish.
   • Use different grit sandpapers for coarse or fine sanding.

4. Grout Removal
