The Makita Multi-Tool Starlock Plunge Cut Saw Blade (B-64892) is a professional-grade accessory designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require precision in wood, chipboard, and laminate applications. Its standout feature is the Starlock mounting system, which allows for rapid, tool-free blade changes that keep your workflow moving; however, it is important to note that this specific blade is optimized primarily for wood-based materials rather than metal cutting.

Yes, the Starlock system is a universal standard compatible with many oscillating multi-tools, but you should verify your tool's specific mount type.
No, this blade is a Bimetal design optimized for wood, chipboard, and laminate. Cutting metal will significantly shorten the lifespan of the teeth.
The blade has a working length of 40mm, which is the maximum depth for plunge cuts.
TPI stands for Teeth Per Inch. A 14 TPI rating provides a balanced cut that is aggressive enough for wood but smooth enough to minimize splintering.
Depending on your specific tool's arbor, you can reposition the blade into one of the 12 available locking positions to reach difficult angles.
Ensure the Starlock interface is fully clicked into the locked position and check that no debris is obstructing the mount.
You are likely applying too much pressure or moving too slowly. Increase the tool speed or reduce pressure to allow the teeth to clear the debris.
Check that the blade is properly aligned with the mount and ensure the tool's oscillation speed is set appropriately for the material being cut.
To install the blade, simply align the Starlock mount on your oscillating multi-tool and press down until you hear a click, ensuring the tool is powered off first. The Starlock system is designed to be backwards compatible with many existing oscillating tool platforms, though you should verify your specific tool's interface to ensure compatibility. To maintain the life of your Bimetal blade, avoid contact with embedded nails or screws, as these can dull the teeth prematurely. After use, wipe the blade clean of sawdust and debris with a dry cloth and store it in a moisture-free environment to prevent corrosion.
