Glad to hear it's working out well for you. Out of curiosity, have you ever used a MF tool with variable speed?

Keeping an open mind on variable speed advantages, and no, I haven't tried one yet. But I may give it a go if I can find my old router speed control. Current DeWalt router is variable speed and very useful with large bits, so similar benefits may result with the Harbor Freight MF in some woodworking situations.

The variable speed is very useful cutting metal as well. Having a needlessly fast oscillation wears out the blade sooner than necessary, and, as with all of these tools, the blades end up costing a lot more than the tool if you use the tool regularly.

I saw the HF one and got it just to try a MF tool out before spending significant bucks on a good one. Made life a lot easier for many tasks. The variable speed would indeed be better. Often can smell the wood, masonite or other materials burning or smoking.
