A 32 mm tungsten carbide plunge cut blade for multi-tools with a StarlockMax holder. The 70 mm working length handles deep plunge cuts in metal, nails, screws, fibre cement and other abrasive materials.
The Makita B-66450 (MAM006) is a 32 mm wide, tungsten carbide tipped plunge cut blade for multi-tools with a StarlockMax holder. With a 70 mm working length and 20 teeth per inch, it’s built for deep plunge cuts in metal, stainless steel, nails, screws, fibre cement and other materials that wear out ordinary blades. Renovators, plumbers, electricians and builders who cut openings and trim fixings in place will get the most from it.
The carbide cutting edge resists heat and wear, so the blade keeps cutting where a standard wood blade would struggle. It’s suited to a wide mix of materials:
That makes it handy for cutting out a section of floor or wall lining that you know has fixings in it, trimming screws and nails flush, or plunging into fibre cement for a pipe or vent opening. Always check for hidden pipes and cables before you plunge into a wall or floor. Cutting fibre cement makes fine silica dust, so control the dust and wear a suitable respirator.

Get this right before you order. The B-66450 has a StarlockMax mount, the heavy-duty end of the Starlock system, made to pass maximum torque through to the blade in hard cutting. Makita lists its StarlockMax plunge blades for the DTM52 multi-tool.
If your tool has a StarlockMax holder, this blade clicks in, and the quick click-lock lets you change accessories in about three seconds. The colour-coded hub makes it easy to pick the right blade from the kit. If your tool takes standard Starlock or Starlock Plus accessories, look at the Makita TMA080 Starlock TCT plunge blade instead.
Let the tool do the work. Leaning hard on an oscillating blade builds heat at the teeth and shortens its life. Rock the blade slightly as you plunge to clear the swarf, and use the depth markings to stop short of anything behind a lining. The tapered blade body helps reduce wear and jamming in deep cuts.
Our take: one carbide plunge blade in the kit saves a lot of grief on renovation work, because you rarely know what’s behind a lining until you’re into it.
