I found it to be a great tool. I think that's too bad about the folks who have bad luck with it but to each their own i guess. I haven't touched my jig saw since purchasing the Rotozip about a year ago. I read all the other reviews and do no it share the sentiment. i use it for everything i would normally use my jig saw for. Good luck all. I find it to be great on plywood, drywall, plaster, vinyl siding, and pine, and just about everything else.
I had the same problem as others in that the round adapter was missing from the sealed package. does anyone know how to get the adapter. it does not work with the scs 01. pretty crappy.
Received item was missing parts, did not include items pictured - thus, will not work on SCS01 regardless of what the description says. Saw another review that said the same thing - too bad I didnt read reviews before I purchased.
However when you spin it, the handle bumps against the tool base guide at this setting. I bought this because I needed to make a 3.5" hole. I have the Pro Series Classic rotozip which is basically the scs01 but with a straight edge on the tool base guide. The smallest hole you can make and still have it rotate freely is 4.5". (The package says it will work with all models of Rotozip and will make a hole 3.5 - 12 inches).It's true that this tool adjusts to make a 3.5" hole.
If you want accuracy, check the settings out on a scrap piece first. This is made much the same way you or I would have bodged one up in a pinch out of scrap c-channel. If you're cutting heavier materials or making say port cutouts for speakers, use a Router and something along the lines of a Jasper Circle Jig, and cut on a bench or table.I am not impressed with the construction. Unacceptable.After receiving the part after a couple weeks wait, yes, it cuts holes. Missing Parts says it all for me, especially when the part count is low and the part is required for use with tool.
This easily, and for little cost, could have been made better. The Round Adapter was missing from the sealed package. Be firm and gentle cutting the hole, use both hands. A scale marked in 1/4 or 1/8th inches, a better clamping and 'pointered' pivot pin assembly and cast aluminum or even pot metal knobs and adapters would give a little respectability to this attachment.This is a '3' tool at best, if you receive it with all the parts. This is an 'okay' attachment for cutting circles in drywall or light materials - a little awkward for ceiling use, but low-end acceptable.
