The Festool OSC 18 E-Basic-Set VECTURO is a professional cordless oscillating multi-tool designed for precise cut-outs, guided plunge cuts, trimming, scraping and detail work.

Extra Information
- This is the OSC 18 E-Basic-Set and is supplied without battery pack and charger.
- The tool is compatible with Festool BP 18 series battery packs.
- The StarlockMax holder also supports StarlockPlus and Starlock accessories.
- The included suction adapter supports cleaner work when connected to a compatible dust extractor.
- The positioning aid is useful for precise guided plunge cuts on delicate or visible surfaces.
- The depth stop helps prevent cutting too deeply into flooring, frames, panels or hidden material behind the cut.
- The set is supplied in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 for organised storage and transport.
Pro Tips
- Use the positioning aid when cutting into visible panels, floors or furniture components where accuracy matters.
- Fit the depth stop when cutting near hidden pipes, cables, backing boards or finished surfaces.
- Let the blade do the work. Forcing an oscillating blade creates heat, shortens blade life and usually makes the cut uglier.
- Match the accessory to the material. Wood, metal, plasterboard, cement joints and scraper work all need different blade choices.
- Connect dust extraction when cutting plasterboard, MDF, filler, coatings or dusty materials indoors.
- Keep spare blades in the Systainer so the correct accessory is always ready when the job changes.
How to Use
- Select the correct Starlock-compatible accessory for the material and application.
- Open the quick-clamping lever, insert the accessory and lock it securely in place.
- Attach the suction adapter, positioning aid, depth stop or adapter where required for the task.
- Insert a compatible Festool BP 18 battery pack.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor to the suction adapter 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.
