Notching Studs for Conduit
Electricians run conduit through framing studs using expensive specialty tools. You can turn to the Multi-Max if you are running conduit for a smaller home electrical project and don't have access to the specialty electricians' tools.
For this project we'll be using the Multi-Max MM40 equipped with the MM480 Wood Flush Cut blade. This project can be handled using any high-performance Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool. We've already removed drywall to install a new outlet that will tie into an existing outlet with a piece of conduit. Mark where you'll cut or notch the studs in order to install the conduit. Cut the top and bottom of the notch first. Your notches should be just a bit taller and deeper than the conduit. Rotate the blade 90 degrees so the tool will better fit between studs when cutting the back of the notches. Notice how easy this rotation is using the MM40s quick lock accessory change feature. After running conduit between the new and existing electrical boxes cover the notches with protective plates. Here's some additional thought on installing conduit. When working with electricity always follow local electrical code and all relevant safety precautions like shutting off power to any outlet your working on.
