New oscillating tool from Bosch

Bosch Power Tools introduced the MX30E Multi-X oscillating tool, designed for cutting, grinding, scraping and sanding applications. The MX30E joins the MX25E and the PS50 cordless model in the growing line of Bosch oscillating tools, attachments and accessories.

The MX30E is the first Bosch oscillating tool to boast a tool-less accessory change lever, making it easier than ever to attach or reposition the wide variety of Oscillating Interface System accessories, according to the company.

The MX30E has a 3.0 amp rating, the highest in its class, and efficiently delivers added power for heavier applications. The speed can be adjusted from 8,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute, while the Bosch Constant Response circuitry allows users to maintain constant speed under a heavy load.

The tool's reinforced gear housing cuts down on tool vibration. This feature combined with small grip circumference and multiple soft-grip areas contribute to optimal comfort during tool operation. The OSC003, an optional dust collection kit, is available for use when sanding.

The Bosch MX30E Multi-X Oscillating Tool is available in a variety of kits, including the MX30EC-21, MX30EK-33 and the MX30KEL-37, each retailing for about $199, $249 and $299, respectively.

The MX30EC-21 comes with five cutting and scraping accessories and 16 sanding accessories. The MX30EK-33 comes with seven cutting, scraping and grinding accessories while the MX30EL-37 comes with 11 of these accessories.
