What is it called? It’s small enough to be used with one hand and comes with a disc for cutting wood, masonry, metal, etc. (interchangeable discs, I think, or a one-disc-cuts-all type of thing). It showed a man placing it on a piece of drywall or plywood and him guiding it down his mark/line with ease (much less bulky than skill saw). IThe one advertisement I saw in Popular Science magazine looked like it was made overseas (the brand)… maybe Germany, and I thought I recalled its color being black and orange…? I want to get it for my dad for Christmas, so any information is appreciated.
That’s it, Sophie B!! Fien… couldn’t remember the name. thank you!!

Multimaster seems a great investment and easy to use. Initial use is for hard to fit laminate flooring — casings, etc. where other power tools just do not work.

Antony G asked:

I own a portable power planer but ideally need to adjust the cutter rotation speed. As far as I know all portable planners are fixed with just one speed setting but I have been told that it’s possible to change the speed by using a dimmer switch. Essentially cutting the power cable and wiring in the dimmer switch. This probably sounds quite dangerous which is why I would probably get an electrian to do the job if it can be done.

This is the class description:

Students taking this class will work on a pre-selected project using either hand tools and/or small power tools. The project will include most phases of woodworking skills: cutting, gluing, sanding and assembly. Materials for this project will be furnished, however, students are encouraged to bring their own power or hand tools to use.

Any suggestions?
