What Customers Are Saying

The Dremel MM485 Carbide Flush Cutting Blade received mixed reviews. Many users found it effective for cutting through various materials like wood, drywall, and some metals, praising its speed and durability. However, some reported the blade dulled quickly when used on tougher materials like steel, rebar, and plaster. A few were disappointed it did not outperform cheaper non-carbide options. Overall, the blade appears suitable for general-purpose cutting tasks, but may not be the best choice for heavy-duty or prolonged use on very hard materials.

Broke quickly cutting tile

Would Not Recommend

I bought this to cut tile for a small job because it was in the tile-cutting section at Lowes. It worked okay for a little while, but it broke pretty quickly. Now it is unusable.

Too Expensive

Would Not Recommend

Bought this to cut off some bolts. It wore out and didn't even get through one bolt. I ended up using my dremel with cut off wheels to do the job. I should return it but the blade is used up! For the price... spend your money on something else...TOO EXPENSIVE and did not do the job!

overpriced JUNK

Would Not Recommend

I burnt up two other blades, different brand, on about twenty deck screws that were stripped that I didn't want to pull because it tears up the wood. I bought this to cut two last screws, it barely made it through the second screw. must be Chinese carbide.

not worth the price

Would Not Recommend

Ok, so I rarely write reviews, but I felt this one was warranted. I purchased this bit to cut five galvanized screws that once attached my old countertop to the cabinets. The package clearly states this will cut hardened metal. It doesn't. I spent 3-4 minutes on each screw, applying varying amounts of pressure. The blade only cut about 1/3 of the way through each screw. I had to snap them off with a hammer. It does cut wood, as I nicked my cabinet. For the price, don't waste your money.

The tool you use matters

Would Recommend

I had a dremel tool that died on me in the middle of a project. I had this blade and I was having difficulty cutting through studs and nails. After my dremel tool died I went with a Rockwell tool as a replacement and it made a BIG difference. Same blade, MUCH better performance with the Rockwell tool over the dremel.

Dremel Carbide Oscillating Blade

This is the best Oscillating Blade I have ever used. Cuts through stainless, fiberglass, wood and other materials. Keeps an edge for a long time.

Inside bathroom wall plumbing

Would Recommend

Had drain leak inside bathroom wall. Used the Carbide blade and it cut through tile like butter making repair easy and did far less damage. All plumbers should have one. Instead of a 8"x8" tile removal was able to cut hole 3 1/2" by 5" to do repair.

Does the hard work!

Would Recommend

I am so grateful for my Dremel! I get the oscillating tool with the carbide blade a couple of years ago to take out a piece of galvanized pipe in my 80 YO house and after trying other things, it was the only thing that would fit in the tight place I had to work. Then today I had to remove the toilet in my bathroom and the only way was to cut through the bolts. Again it worked perfectly and with little effort, again in a very tight place. I honestly do not know what I would have done without ...

Better Than Carbon Steel Blades

Would Recommend

These will last three times longer than a non-carbide cutter. They will blow through nails, screws, and assorted steel fasteners without going dull. Reasonable pricing in the three pack. All I buy for my multi-tool.

Not a universal fit

Would Not Recommend

I don't know if this product works well or not. Package states Universal, but it does not fit the DeWalt DWE315. Just an FYI for anyone looking at this blade.
