  • Patent number: 12226843
    Abstract: An oscillating blade including a shank having a tool mounting end and a blade end, the shank defining a longitudinal shank axis extending from an oscillation axis of the tool mounting end, the longitudinal shank axis defining a longitudinal direction. The oscillating blade also includes a first shank extension extending from the blade end in a first lateral direction and having a first cutting edge directed in a first cutting direction, and a second shank extension extending from the blade end in a second lateral direction and having a second cutting edge directed in a second cutting direction. The oscillating blade also includes a shaving edge disposed on the blade end. The first shank extension is spaced from the second shank extension in the longitudinal direction, and the shaving edge is at least partially disposed between the first shank extension and the second shank extension in the longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20240383057
    Abstract: An oscillating blade includes a body having a cutting edge, the cutting edge defining a first end of the oscillating blade, and an anchor coupled to the body and defining a second end of the oscillating blade. The anchor includes a base disposed at least partially in a first plane, a tool arbor engagement portion including a side wall extending away from the first plane and a cap wall coupled to the side wall and disposed at least partially in a second plane that is spaced apart from the first plane, and a plurality of lock points spaced between the first end and the second end of the oscillating blade in a first direction. The cap wall defines a central arbor hole configured to receive a power tool arbor. The plurality of lock points is laterally aligned in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 12070810
    Abstract: An oscillating power tool includes a power tool connection clamp and an oscillating saw blade. The power tool connection clamp defines a clamp recess. The oscillating saw blade includes an anchor, a working portion, a tool arbor engagement portion, and a tool arbor lock point. The anchor is disposed at least partially in a first plane. The tool arbor engagement portion includes a side wall extending away from the first plane and a cap wall coupled to the side wall and disposed at least partially in a second plane. The tool arbor lock point extends outwardly from the side wall between the first plane and the second plane. The tool arbor lock point is configured to mate with the power tool connection clamp in a snap fit engagement when received in the clamp recess.
