I had to put in 2 gate latches recessed into the posts.
Usually I cut the perimeter with the saw and then chisel out the rest.
The MM makes this job especially easy as you can set depth by scale on blade and you can remove stock by plunge cut from sides.
Another tidbit is get your blades at sears they are as good as the feins and run around 7 $ each and fit the new MM.

Really? I tried the Dremel and Bosch... no go.
Bosch blades fit the older MM (not the star shaped "arbor" ( don't know what you call the blade attachement screw in peice)).

Yeah, really! I was just at Sears and I picked up a 2-pack of blades for their Multitool for $13.00. They're a perfect fit for the NEW Multimaster (then one with the quick-change blade#.
I didn't discover this on my own. I learned of it here on BT, but I don't remember who mentioned it first.
The blades have fine teeth. I suppose that's because the Multitool #which is cordless) is not as powerful as the Multimaster and is not intended for cutting as aggressively. I have coarse cutting blades from Multiblades.com and I've been very happy with their price and quality.
sears,who woulda figured thanks
I told ya.
I stooped by the Sears on Outer loop this morning. They had them there. $12.00. Each for the straight saw blade and the half round saw blade. And it sasy on the package that they are indeed compatable with the MM.
Who are you people? And why am I strapped to the bed?
do they have the star arbor as that what mine is. hey thanks for hooking me up with brother. Job went well and multimaster saved our bacon. However my customer called and wants a dimmer, wouldn't ya know. I told her Gunners says she can't have one so get over it, lol. Anyways call me and let me know what I need and I'll switch it out thanks.
Yep it has the star deal. Steve liked it. We rode together to our great nephews baptism. Said anytime you want he's game. I'll figure out the dimmer deal and let you know something.
