haven't used this tool for this application, but -
the Fein MultiMaster is an extremely precise random orbital sander, scraper,
cutter. Of course, precision is ultimately the responsibility of the hand
holding the tool. This thing orbits at 22,500 opm. It is perfect for narrow
openings as the cutting blades are less than about 1/16" wide. It is a
serious, heavy-duty tool - and not inexpensive. but it is probably alot less
expensive than a whole lot of professionally bought body work. For those not
familiar with a random orbit cutter - think back to the saw the orthopedist
used to cut the plaster cast off your last broken body part.
i have used this tool for months now in the housing renovation business -
inmo it would be a great tool for this auto seam application. i have used it
for cutting very narrow tile grout w/o damaging the surrounding tile.
