If I already have the multi-tool attachment (with sander), why would I need this?

I'm not sure if you own this exact attachment from B&D; but if not then the B&D; attachment is well worth the price. The replacement sanding paper is durable so you save $ on replacing them. I personally love all of Matrix's attachments. You have to own them and feel the quality of the tool & attachments.

I saw nothing that indicated a filing tool was an optional attachment but admit I wasn't looking for anything but woodworking blades. I imagine if you went to Black and Deckers website they could answer that question.

Hi Sophia, The Bosch 3727 DEVS sander takes a six hole sanding disk. I don't know if the eight holes are in the right place to match the sander. Sorry it took so long to answer. I kept forgetting to look when I went to the shop. I am very happy with the sander. It was a good choice for me. Good luck.

My sander has a 1 1/16" outside diameter on the vacuum port and the armorall vacuum fit right on it. It's a dewalt sander and I bet it's a standard size port. The vacuum works GREAT at keeping the dust down, way better than the little bag the sander came with. I don't think you will need anything extra.

If you don't have the original paperwork, go on line to look it up. For the average it yourself person, that is a non issue. If you are using this unit for a commercial project, buy a heavy duty sander.

absolutely. Much more power and it leaves none of the marks other sanders like this. It's a real nice tool. Good luck

Yes, of course. However, due to the nature of your question-- you do realize that these attach to the sanding foot of an electric sander, right? These will be rather ineffective if used without the proper machine.

The auxiliary can be seen on the Festool,com web site under sanders. It's a round handle that screws into either side of the sander and allows for better control and helps prevent fatigue on larger jobs.

It does but getting the replacements is a big nightmare. The sander does not fit standard polishing pads at all. So if you want a fluffy buffer and maybe a sponge type pads you are out of luck with this sander. It only comes with ONE type made for just this sander alone. So there is no post/nut to attach a regulare pad too. The one it uses just slips on with a tie. It is dumb. I ended up buying Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher-Sander with Polishing Kit. Love it.

I have the same question... I just purchased this tool today from a local store where they didn't really have many accessories; but it appears the porter cable accessories can be used, but I'll keep researching before I buy them. If you find an answer, please post it!

I believe that these tool accessories are designed to be interchangeable with most multifunction tools. However, I do not have a Master Mechanic multi-tool. I have a Harbor Freight store brand multifunction tool and the accessories work well. When I was shopping around for this kind of accessories, the floor person at Staple's told me that most brands are interchangeable.

It would do well to get the smaller areas that something like a palm orbital sander cannot reach, I would not use it to sand larger areas because it can be more difficult to sand evenly. Plus, the sand paper attachments are way more expensive than buying sheets of paper and cutting to size for use with a good orbital sander. Like others said, the Multi-X is a high frequency (vibrates very fast) oscillating tool and it is possible to over heat what you are sanding if applying too much pressure, thereby causing gumming on the pad and depending on the object you are sanding, scorching. Not enough heat to set anything on fire of course, but enough to cause you to have to replace sanding pads often.

No! It is just a dust collector. You will need some flex hose and hose clamps to connect it to your tools. You should be able to connect to your sander without any reducers.

It does come with a "triangle" attachment and several sanding pads, but I suspect they would wear out pretty fast. It might work for sanding in tight spaces, but honestly I think this machine is designed more for cutting than sanding.

No this tool is not needed. I don't use the one I have because the blades bite in my opinion using the zero gapper. I'm not a fan of this tool. The old technique using a flat surface works forever!

No you have to but attachments separately. Just another way for them to make more money on you ;) but it's worth it!
