Fein Multimaster RS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fein MultiMaster RS is a variable speed oscillating tool produced by Fein tools that uses a broad assortment of accessory blades. The MultiMaster doesn't rotate or orbit like other power tools, it oscillates. Oscillation permits the user to do extremely fine and delicate work or be more aggressive depending on the accessory blade and material.

[edit] Introduction
The Multimaster's variable-speed triangular sanding pad oscillates between 12,000 rpm and 21,000 rpm. Because of its unique oscillating action, the Multimaster operates very smoothly and is relatively quiet compared to other sanders.
The same low-amplitude high-speed oscillating action is used for medicine with the Stryker saw. This type of saw will cut rigid materials such as bone or plaster casts, without damaging soft tissue.
