Abstract
A blade attachment, configured to be coupled to a power tool, enables two parallel cuts to be made simultaneously. The blade attachment includes an intermediate portion, configured to be coupled to the power tool, and two blade portions, configured to be coupled to opposite sides of the intermediate portion. The two blade portions are formed to mirror one another and are arranged to be opposite and parallel to one another on the blade attachment. Each of the blade portions includes an interface leg, which is coupled to the intermediate portion, and a blade leg, which extends downwardly from the interface leg at an angle. Each blade leg includes a plurality of teeth configured to make a cut.
Claims16
A blade attachment for mounting on a power tool, the blade attachment comprising:
- an intermediate portion configured to be coupled to the power tool to be oscillated by the power tool about an oscillation axis;
- a first blade portion coupled to a first side of the intermediate portion;
- and
- a second blade portion coupled to a second side of the intermediate portion, the second side opposite the first side, wherein:
- the first blade portion and the second blade portion are coupled to the intermediate portion such that the first blade portion and the second blade portion are arranged to mirror one another on opposite sides of the intermediate portion, and
- the first blade portion and the second blade portion project from the intermediate portion in a direction parallel to the oscillation axis.
A method cutting an opening with a power tool, the method comprising:
- simultaneously pressing two blade portions of a blade attachment into a surface to be cut;
- moving the blade attachment in a first direction along the surface to be cut to simultaneously form two parallel cuts in the surface;
- rotating the power tool to align the two blade portions at an angle relative to the two parallel cuts;
- simultaneously pressing the two blade portions into the surface to be cut;
- and
- moving the blade attachment in a second direction along the surface to be cut to simultaneously form two further parallel cuts in the surface.
