Why bother? I've got 25+ hours on mine doing the scraper thing and it
still honks right along. When it quits (if it does) I'll probably buy
another one.
Used it on a 12' x 16' kitchen floor with linoleum, plywood, asphalt
felt, more linoleum, more asphalt felt and it was slow going but took
it down to the subfloor planks. Took off the final asphalt residue
with a Bosch power planer. The planer spit out a kind of fluff
consisting of asphalt and wood fiber that was easy to sweep up. There
have been posts in this NG moaning and groaning about asphalt, but
this old stuff came up pretty clean.

Try the HF $6 diamond blade. Slightly smaller diameter than the half
round, but (so far) seems to be reasonably durable. HF would be smart
to offer a serious metal cutting blade along the lines of the Bosch
jigsaw, and Milwaukee SawzAll blades.

That's what lumber yards are for.

Which, believe it or not, have disappeared completely from many smaller
cities.

See HF 67264 $5.99. It is cataloged as for the multifunction tool and
does indeed fit just fine. HTH

You might want to try that again, I had no problem finding it.

Latest HF catalog shows item 65983. Obviously my error; don't know
whether it was an old catalog or misread. This number works, though.
