Dremel is soon coming out with their Moto-Saw, a new power tool that’s got us quite excited. While described as an oscillating tool, the Dremel Moto-Saw looks to be a mini handheld scroll saw. But no matter how it’s described, the Moto-Saw has the potential to be a big hit with DIYers and hobbyists.
We use Dremel rotary tools on a regular basis and have been quite pleased with the steady tool and accessory improvements over the years. Dremel has also proven their ability to think outside their rotary tool comfort zone with products like their the Saw-Max and Multi-Max oscillating tools.

Dremel Moto-Saw Features:
The Moto-Saw is designed for cutting wood, plastic, and metal materials. From what we can tell it will be best suited for complex and curved cuts, but a fence can be added to facilitate making clean straight cuts.
- Stationary bench mode
- Hand-holdable for use on larger workpieces
- Variable speed adjustment
- Miter gauge for angle cuts
- Adjustable hold-down near active cutting area for reduced vibration
- 9-foot power cord (for great mobility)
- Included vacuum dust port adapter
- Tool-free QuickChange auto-tensioning blade change mechanism
- Blade types: metal-cutting (MS53), fine wood (MS5w), wood and plastic (MS51), side-cutting (MS50)
Technical Specifications
- 70-watt motor
- no-load speed of 1500-2250 strokes per minute
- ~5/16″/8mm stroke length
The US tool kit, MS20-01, will come with the Moto-Saw, storage case case, 4x multi-purpose wood saw blades, 4x fine wood saw blades, 1x metal saw blade, and 1x side-cutting blade.
The Moto-Saw will be available starting in January 2013 via Amazon, Lowes, and possibly other Dremel distributors for about $100. Additional blades will be available for about $7.

Hmm… is it April 1 already?
Jeff Tieman
Must be. No thanks, Dremel.
Dennis
1) Where was this thing when I was coping trim?
2) It says Dremel on it and comes in a cute little suitcase. I must own it.
Stuart
Right now there’s no definitive ETA. You’re not the only one, I want to try it out, pronto! I have a few projects this would be perfect for, where larger tools would be overkill.
Dennis
Can we start a petition?

There’s a subtitled video on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k18etqhiBZ4.
Stuart
Thanks for the link! The saw is a little larger than I thought it would be, but still far smaller than a scroll saw.

When can we expect this tool in the shops in the Netherlands, I am looking for a long time for this handy tool.
Stuart
You’ll have to check with your local Dremel distributor. Right now there’s no information about the USA launch and there’s noone I can ask about a Netherlands launch.

Stuart
You can always check with European vendors to see if they’ll ship to your country. If not, there’s a chance that regular pin-end blades will fit, but the Dremel blades look to have more reinforcement.

Compre una en junio del 2013 y el kit no traía el aditamento para cortes rectos o con angulos y no lo puedo conseguir en las tiendas además de recorrer las páginas de Dremel no encuetro el número de pieza, podrían facilitarme como comprarlo. Por todo lo demás es una maquina exelente.
Victor Flores
Can you please let me know if this beautiful mini-machine is capable to cut “Name Plates” on less than 1 mm Sterling Silver Sheet, if yes will be great, I have “Carpal Tunnel” in both hands that make very difficult for me to do my job.
Thanks in advance for your fast answer.
Stuart
It *should* be able to, but the only way to find out would be to give it a try. You could also try contacting Dremel to see what their recommendation would be.

Where can I buy the mitre gauge pictured in your review of the Dremel MS20??
