Festool OSC 18 Li 3.1 E-Set VECTURO Cordless Oscillator
At a Glance: 18 V cordless oscillating multi-tool with StarlockMax tool holder, EC-TEC motor, 3.1 Ah battery, charger and precision accessory set
The Festool OSC 18 Li 3.1 E-Set VECTURO is a professional cordless oscillating multi-tool designed for precise cut-outs, plunge cuts, trimming, scraping and detail work. Powered by an 18 V lithium-ion battery and Festool’s brushless EC-TEC motor, the VECTURO delivers strong cutting performance with excellent control and comfort. Its StarlockMax quick-clamping system makes blade changes fast and tool-free, while the included positioning aid, depth stop and dust extraction device turn this machine into a highly accurate system solution for demanding installation, renovation, joinery and finishing work.
The OSC 18 Li 3.1 E-Set is not just a cordless multi-tool with a few blades in the box. It is a complete VECTURO setup for guided plunge cuts, repeatable depth-controlled cuts and cleaner low-dust work. It is especially useful for skirting boards, door frames, timber, laminated panels, plasterboard, plastics, composite materials and detailed installation work where a normal saw simply cannot reach.

Extra Information
- This Vermont Sales product is listed as FES574851 and corresponds to the Festool OSC 18 Li 3.1 E-Set VECTURO.
- The set includes the machine, 18 V 3.1 Ah battery pack, rapid charger and a useful selection of VECTURO accessories.
- The StarlockMax tool holder is designed for fast accessory changes and strong power transmission.
- The positioning aid can be used for guided plunge cuts and more accurate work on delicate surfaces.
- The depth stop is useful where repeated cuts to the same depth are required.
- The dust extraction device improves cleanliness when connected to a suitable Festool dust extractor.
- Always choose the correct oscillating blade for the material being cut.
Pro Tips
- Use the positioning aid when making plunge cuts on visible surfaces. Freehand works, but guided cuts are where this tool becomes properly impressive.
- Use the depth stop when cutting into flooring, frames or panels where you do not want to damage material behind the cut.
- Let the blade do the cutting. Forcing an oscillating blade creates heat, burns the material and shortens blade life.
- Match the blade to the material. Wood, metal, plastic and abrasive materials all punish the wrong blade in different creative ways.
- Connect extraction when cutting plasterboard, MDF or dusty materials indoors.
- Keep spare blades in the Systainer so the correct accessory is always close by when the job changes.
How to Use
- Select the correct StarlockMax-compatible accessory for the material and application.
- Open the quick-clamping lever, insert the accessory and lock it securely in place.
- Attach the positioning aid, depth stop or dust extraction device where required for the task.
- Fit the BP 18 Li 3.1 C battery pack to the machine.
- Connect a compatible dust extractor to the OSC-AV dust extraction device when low-dust cutting is required.
- Set the oscillation speed according to the material and accessory.
- Place the accessory on the marked line and start the machine before entering the material.
- Guide the tool steadily through the cut without forcing the blade.
- Allow the accessory to stop completely before changing blades or placing the tool down.
- Remove the battery before cleaning, changing accessories or storing the machine.
