Lightweight, Compact Design for Easy Handling in Tight Corners
Lightweight and compact, the Multi-Max is a pleasure to handle and hold, and its comfortable design minimizes wrist and hand fatigue, even during intricate, prolonged work. It also accesses tight corners and narrow spaces that conventional saws and sanders simply can't reach.
Sanding Options for Smooth Finishes
Dremel offers accessories for sanding both bare and painted wood, which is an ideal practice for restoring worn surfaces. Each sand paper is available in 60, 120, and 240 grits. The Dremel Multi-Max offers a new category for grinding with an oscillating tool. Thirty-grit diamond sanding paper allows users to remove cement residue from raw flooring quickly and efficiently.
Ideal for a Variety of Woodworking Projects
Ideal for woodworking projects, the Multi-Max cuts with minimal dust buildup to help keep both your line of vision and workspace clear. It's also great for precise edging, shaping, and detail work--whether you're dealing with vintage wooden frames, dollhouse furniture, or kitchen cabinetry.
Great for DIY Projects
Use the Multi-Max to remove sections of drywall, install hardwood flooring, and trim door jambs. There are two grout-removal accessories available in a 1/8-inch size and a 1/16-inch size for wall and floor grout elimination. The Multi-Max even has two different scraping accessories available--the flexible scraper blade for projects such as removing old caulking around the tub or shower and the rigid scraper blade, which is better suited for removing stuck vinyl flooring, carpeting, and carpet padding.
Operation is also consistent, low-noise, and reliable, whether you're cutting through a subfloor or repairing an antique armoire. Simply plug it in and you're ready to go. The Multi-Max comes in a blow-molded case for easy storage and portability, and it also includes a "Getting Started" booklet, as well as a variety of accessories.
About Dremel: A History of Brilliance and Innovation
Founded in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin, Dremel is the industry leader in rotary tools. The company owes its success to the inventive genius of its founder and namesake, Albert J. Dremel. In his lifetime, Mr. Dremel owned 55 patents on a wide range of products from electric erasers to a gas-powered rotary lawn mower. His most famous and important invention was a high-speed rotary tool dubbed the Dremel Moto-Tool. Compact, lightweight, and perfect for a wide range of jobs, the rotary tool was an immediate hit with hobbyists and eventually became accepted as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Today, the Dremel name remains synonymous with utility, durability, and innovation.

Now that multi-tools are readily available at reasonable prices, we know that we can't do without them. No way. Every contractor needs one, so do plumbers, electricians and all of us fixer-upper types. They have become indispensable. Sure, we got along without them for years. Carpenters got along without electric drills up to a few decades ago. Sharp rocks before then. But, are we on earth just to suffer? No. We need and deserve a multi-tool. Knowing this, I looked at all the brands from the mighty Fein to the Dremel, with Bosch and Porter-Cable holding the middle ground. Fein has the high-end market, and surely is the choice for heavy users or those who need access to all sorts of exotic blades. I almost went for the Bosch because have a couple of their other tools that use the same little battery and I have the chargers. Still, it was more expensive than the Dremel. Porter-Cable's device is perfectly good, I'm sure, but doesn't have the high-endedness of the Fein, the cordlessness of the Bosch or the cheapness of the Dremel.
In the end, I thought, well, what am I actually going to use this for. If it was years ago when I bought my falling-down old house, I would have gone for the Fein because I would have used it hard for years. But, now I am down to finishing up stuff and my list was this:
1. Cutting out a couple of tiles neatly so I can install a single-arm shower control.
2. Removing some grout that I am not happy about.
3. Cutting out some caulk around a sink and tub.
4. Trimming off some 3/4 exterior ply, about 10 feet of it, where there is not access for other sorts of tools and so it never got done.
5. Cutting neat, repatchable access holes on two inside wooden walls to change the wiring around so the switch is on the correct side of a door (don't ask).
6. The house has a lot of small-pane old windows. I have to cut out the old putty now and then, and sand them. A great job for a multi-tool and a too-hard job without one.
This is not a huge list, nor one that should put that much strain on the tool, except maybe the plywood job. I went by price and chose the Dremel. I felt that Dremel is a company that has been around a long time and I had faith that the tool would do the job and do it the cheapest. I bought the tool from Amazon, but note that HD has all the blades and sandpaper in stock.
I ordered the 6300-01 and some extra blades for the tasks noted above. I did not order the diamond smoother blade. Haven't had much luck with expensive diamond-coated tools before. I wish Dremel had a carbide rasp like the other companies do. I'll look into adapting one.
Also, note that the -01, -02, -03 refers to the number of cutters that come with the kit, not an update to the unit itself. It took me hours to figure that out. Dremel's own site is useless. Actually, all the sites for the respective tools are worthless except for Fein's.
My first job was the hardest one, cutting through the old 3/4 exterior ply. Using the cheapo standard wood blade it went very smoothly and with good precision. Like they say, let the tool do the work and don't press on it. That is hard to do as your natural inclination is to push a little, so pay attention and let it go. I tried different angles and wiggles, but the best method on difficult wood is to cut it in two or three passes. Also, keep your hands away from the vents so the tool can cool. The highest speed setting worked the best for my ply job.
This job went quite well. The Dremel is pretty noisy, but I can't compare it to others I haven't used. It seems powerful enough. I never cursed it for bogging down or slowing me down at all. It is small and light and didn't fatigue me at all.
The blade lasted right up until almost the end when it hit a screw. No blade will survive that. I finished off the final two feet with the damaged blade, smoking up the place, but the blade was wasted anyway and it didn't matter. You can't expect these blades to survive hitting screws, but there are constant complaints by reviewers of all of these tools about the blades not being able to cut common imbedded nails. It is amazing that this is the case, but a great opportunity for someone to come up with a solution. In any case, Dremel blades are relatively inexpensive.
The Dremel got pretty warm, but not scary-hot or smelly. Since the plywood job is pretty close to the most difficult use this sort of tool will normally see, that is a good sign.
The case looks nice, and actually has places to store blades and stuff, but it does have openings that can allow things to disappear into the hollow interior. Kind of odd. Why not do it right?
The negative reviews about the loosening blade problem concerned me, for sure, but I chanced it. Mine came with a bevelled washer and the dreaded allen wrench. I tightened it down until the washer was flattened, plus a minor grunt, and it lasted through the entire job. No problem. Of course, the quick-release Fein system is obviously better, but the Dremel did not loosen up and I think my job put as much of a strain on it as possible. The Dremel has a sort of semi-fast blade changing system. Because the blades are slotted, you just have to loosen the allen screw a little to remove the blade. The others require removing the screw completely. Not an earthshaking innovation, but nice.
The Dremel was a good choice for what I needed it for and will probably suffice for years to come. The impossibly cheap generic brands are just too chancy for me. I expect different and better blades will someday be available for all of these tools. In fact, I was going to give it all five stars as a great value, but I just had to remove one because of the cost of blades and not having a nail-cutting blade available. When you get a Dremel, or one of the other brands, you will be very pleased. They are very useful tools, not an indulgence at all if you actually use it.
What a Time Saver!

This tool saved countless hours in the arduous task of tile grout removal. Subsequently, in using the wood blade during kitchen cabinet installation, the blade repeatedly loosened up during operation (as reported by others). The Dremel service department was extremely responsive and sent a replacement tool (and tool kit)and blamed early production design issues. (The original tool kit's plastic latches would also fall off; tool had been purchased at Lowe's July 2009.)
This is a "must have" tool for any DIYer's arsenal!
Rotary Tool = 7 thumbs up; Multi-Max = pretty good

This tool has become invaluable in just the 3 days I've had it. I've been able to take shortcuts in a kitchen remodel I never could have otherwise. It's saved me from having to make some trade-off decisions: re-doing many hours of work or being satisfied with an imperfect result. A rotary tool will become your new best friend.
The tool itself is pretty good. If you're just a DIY'er like me I'd say it's a good choice. If you're a pro spend the extra money and get something better.
There needs to be a 6 star rating!

I have had mine for 5 months and purchased it primarily to remove 30 yr old poly caulking around my house windows. This tool teamed up with the ridgid scraper was the tool for the job. The caulking was cracked and weathered but still very gummy and well attached. This tool handled 23 windows (15 hrs of use) with no problem. It does get hot when using for more than 5 min but never too hot or "smokey" smelling. I expect this to to reside next to my 27 yr dremel-tool for many yrs.
Another task it has done was replacing the top 1 inch of a damaged baseboard. I has 3 feet where the previous owner notched the baseboard for an air conditioner. Replacing this section would have required replacing the whole room's baseboard as the molding is no linger made. I squared up the nothed area with the multimax, and then fitted in a piece of quarter round to achive the profile. Precisely making exact cuts without damaging the surrounding material is what the M-master is all about.
The case is awesome with one drawback. It has crevices on the lid that swallow accesories ensuring "hours" of fun truing to pursuade them to fall out. This usually happens in the middle of a job. I filled my lid with the minimally expanding foam which has solved this issue. (dremel please fix this). It is not the most elegant solution but works like a champ.
If I could give it 6 stars I would.
