Are the blades for oscillating tools sold at Action compatible with the TC-MG 220 E?

Q: Are the blades for oscillating tools sold at Action compatible with the TC-MG 220 E?

The fastening system of the TC-MG 220 E relies on tool holder pins that fit into the blade cutouts , which is then secured by a hexagon socket screw (Allen key provided). This is neither the OIS system nor the Starlock: it is a universal standard with 2 pins + central screw, very common among entry-level and mid-range oscillating tools. The universal blades for oscillating tools sold at Action are often compatible with this type of fastening, provided that their cutouts correspond well to the tool holder pins. The visual difference you noticed may have several explanations: Cosmetic difference only (color, surface treatment, metal thickness): no impact on fastening, the blade will be compatible. Slight misalignment of the cutouts : if the holes do not perfectly align with the pins, the blade will not be held properly - do not force it. Different system (Starlock star, OIS notch): incompatible with the TC-MG 220 E. Simple test before buying or mounting the blade: place the blade on the tool holder without tightening the screw. If the pins fit naturally into the cutouts and the blade is flat and stable, the fastening is compatible. If the blade tilts, forces, or does not align, do not attempt to mount it. If in doubt, certified compatible original accessories are available at www.isc-gmbh.info .
