Aaron813 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) My DaD bought a rotozip when they first came out and had like a 3 hour deal on tv well we ordered it i think we paid almost $400 for it and we have yet to use it on any projects IMO they are as useless as a bag of dog shit Edited April 24, 2008 by Aaron813
philip Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 just get a router. a rotozip is worthless on mdf unless you just drilling holes and i'm pretty sure you already got a drill. it's only good on drywall. if the cost of a router is not in your budget, i would rather get a crappy jigsaw instead.

groundpounder2k2 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 I have a rotoZip solaris............and it gets used maybe once a year My MainMan,My lil Man,Dude,Bubb....My son Memphis @ 3years OldShow'em that car son..........
LSN2meBoom916 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 I have a Rotozip Z1 (I think)...I actually use it quite often. I did however make a MUCH more stable FLAT PERCH than the shitty plastic one that comes with it... The 1 time (B4 I made the reinforced perch) I used the Rotozip with a ROUTER BIT in it...the stock-plastic perch/fence bent, and caught on the spinning router bit...=el snappo. After I built my own flat top/perch dealio (pics avail upon request) it's MUCH more easy to control and get useful cuts out of...I did also have to fashion multi-thickness spacers (2 in 3/16" plexi and 1 in 1/4" mdf) to adjust the cut depth/height or the router bits. It's handy SOMEtimes....and lighter weight than a router, good for "minor cuts/grinds" & thin metal with a cutoff wheel" but if you wanna CUT MDF.......It's ROUTER TIME ALL THE WAY! The handiest feature I have found is using a metal cutoff wheel to cut sheet metal and screws/nails.

roscoe1129 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 agreed on the platform... but I use mine with a flushtrim bit to trim fiberglass out of woofer holes and such and small trimming jobs.
