27 PRO INSTALLER JANUARY 2014 PRO COMPETITION! @proinstaller1 Win yourself a multi-tool kit! Makita has a range of Multi-Tool machines that are increasingly favoured by installers and fitout specialists for their very varied blade and accessory options and for the ease of operation in confined spaces. A Multi-Tool blade oscillates across just 3.2 degrees – 1.60 either side of centre – which enables cuts to be made in locations where a full-stroke jigsaw or reciprocating saw could not operate. The slim handgrip sized bodies also makes access easier and provides comfortable and safe machine control. The Makita TM3000C, mains Multi-Tool is available in 110v and 240v, powered by a 320watt motor and has a conveniently placed thumb on/off control and the variable speed dial is on the body side. The Makita range of blades and accessories features 23 alternative sawing, plunge cutting, rasping and sanding attachments plus a comprehensive range of abrasive materials to suit the multi-tool sanding pad. Attachment of the abrasives is by convenient loop and hook. Whereas a full size orbital sander will “bounce” off adjacent material when you try to get close into a corner, the accuracy and small angle of operation of a multi-tool makes fine and close sanding possible. The TM3000CX4 Makita Multi-Tool machine comes with attachments to connect to dust extraction vacuum units. The Oscillating Interface System (OIS) means that other brand accessories will fit the Makita multi-tool whilst a handy adaptor also means that a further range of accessories can be utilised. Multi-Tool operations are varied. Cutting a new light box cavity through plasterboard is easy with the plunge saw cutter. Similarly, slicing the bottom off a doorframe architrave to allow flooring to fit accurately is easy with a multi-tool where it would be impossible to operate a circular saw or jigsaw without removing the timber which would then require refinishing.
