It's an occilating saw. I have the same one but a battery powered version. I use it for cutting casts on horses out in the field. Never thought of using it on the boat however. Thanks for the tip

looks like a 4 1/2" grinder. How does it work so there is no dust? (Noank where were you a few months ago??)

I have the cordless one but I would get the one with a cord if you are going to use it around the shop. Bought mine thru my veterinary products distributer but I think you can find one easily at a big tool supply place. I think they are made in germany.

I would try coastal tool supply in CT. Always great prices.

It is a Fein Tool. And it does oscillate. There are many attachments like all the other tools by other makers but the Fein has survived this type of work for over 10 years. The blade is the trick. It is high carbon steel and about $50 for the blade. And the blade is somewhat fragile and prone to cracking. But once you learn how to use it, you will be amazed. I by my blades from Jamestown Distributors.
When using the tool it just throws off really tiny chuncks of fiberglass and the blade will not cut you. I just can't say enough about it.

Are you sure?? I looks like the same saw we use to cut off the top of someones skull to remove the brain. Hmmm might have to swipe one of them from the morgue.....the saw that is.

This tool could do brain surgery and not splatter all over the place. Actually Fein tool is the company that invented the electric drill. Their line of vacumns and dustless sanders and grinders are also wonderful.

Noank, I too have the fein tool with the attatchments mentioned. I used the velcro triangular sanding pads to sand my teak louvers on my cabin door. That tool is a must have for guys that like stuff.. Heres an fyi on its development. Many years ago Mercedes needed a tool to separate the adhesive seal on the windshield and frame. They contacted the german tool maker fein to build them the particular tool. They did and now it has evolved into the wonderful versatile tool that it is. just my .02
