Abstract
A cutting accessory for an oscillating power tool includes a base having a front face and an opposing back face, a mounting hole passing through the base between the front face and the back face; two spaced apart elongated legs each having a proximal end mounted to the base and an opposing distal end, at least one of the elongated legs being movably mounted to the base; and a saw blade or elongated file extending between and being removably coupled to the distal ends of the two spaced apart elongated legs.

A cutting accessory for an oscillating multi-tool, comprising:
- an attachment base having a front face and an opposing back face, a mounting opening passing through the attachment base between the front face and the back face;
- two spaced apart elongated legs each having a proximal end mounted to the attachment base and an opposing distal end;
- and
- a saw blade or elongated file extending between and being removably coupled to the distal ends of the two spaced apart elongated legs, the saw blade or elongated file being in compression between the elongated legs.
