Aaron813 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share 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.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share 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.
