High-grade bimetal construction and universal toothing make these blades ideal for plunge cuts and versatile cutting in wood, coated or painted wood, composite materials, GRP, plasterboard, non-ferrous metals and plastics. Durable enough to cope with occasional nails embedded in wood. Supplied in a pack of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp itemprop=\"description\"\u003eThe Festool USB 50\/35\/Bi\/OSC\/5 is a professional universal oscillating saw blade designed for users who regularly move between different materials without wanting to change blades for every individual task. Manufactured from high-grade bimetal and equipped with universal toothing, the blade combines excellent cutting speed, clean cutting performance and long service life. Its 50 mm length and 35 mm width make it particularly well suited to controlled plunge cuts, cut-outs and detailed installation work. Festool specifically rates the blade for wood, coated wood, painted wood, composite materials, glass-fibre-reinforced plastic (GRP), plasterboard, non-ferrous metals and plastics. The tough bimetal construction also makes it resistant to occasional nails encountered in timber. A Starlock mounting interface provides secure power transfer and allows fast, tool-free blade changes on the Festool OSC 18. Five blades are supplied in the pack for demanding professional workshop and site use.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eThe robust all-rounder for mixed-material work\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe USB 50\/35\/Bi\/OSC is designed as a true universal blade rather than a material-specific specialist.
