Abstract
A method of using an oscillating accessory with an oscillating power tool may include providing an attachment member. The attachment member may include an attachment plate, a raised rim portion extending from the attachment plate, the raised rim having a central recess, a keyed sidewall with an at least partially star shape configured to be engaged by a first mating geometry of an oscillating power tool, and a top wall that includes a receiving portion having a plurality of recesses configured to be engaged by a second mating geometry of an oscillating power tool. The central recess may not be in communication with any of the plurality of recesses. The attachment member may be used to facilitate tool-free attachment of a working portion to the oscillating power tool via a clamp assembly having a first clamp member moveable relative to a second clamp member without use of a secondary tool.
