I was looking forward to cutting some nice neat lines with the TC1 bit. My house is 55 years old with walls of lathboard and plaster. The only use I found for this tool was cutting receptacle openings in 1/2 inch drywall, a job I can acomplish quicker and neater with a handsaw. I resorted to my angle grinder for both tasks. RotoZip bits are available to cut plaster, cement board and ceramic tile among other applications-----don't believe it. The tool is hopelessly underpowered for this application, it balks and overheats. Disappointing to say the least. The TC1 bit that wouldn't cut plaster snapped when I tried to cut 1/2 inch cement board.
Makes great cuts and easy to control. Cant believe I;ve went without one all these years. Cuts out sheetrock nice & clean and in no time at all.
No complaints, other than about my handyman ability. Item arrived in near-new shape without problems. The packaging was a little threadbare with no hardcase or softcase. CPO is the only way to go. I'm new to this rotozip scene and butchered up some drywall as I learned how to use it.
The Rotozip failed to live-up to my expectation. In terms of feel, the Milwaukee router felt more well-built and balanced. In summary, this Rotozip is a use-once-a-while tool for a home-owner, not for commerical application. I bought a this Rotozip from HomeDepot priced at $60 and a special floor tile bit for the purpose of cutting curves on floor tiles. But to be fair, my Milwaukee router is almost $200.00.
The special floor tile bit was a complete disappointment--see my reviews on X-bit. In tight corners, its greatest attribute is its small size relative to a full size router. However, handling and manuevering the Rotozip is less secure because the Rotozip lacks the two handles found in a full sized router. While this tool is smaller than my full sized Milwaukee router, the powerful Milwaukee operated smoother with less vibration.
This product worked well and and is durable.It was dropped a couple of time in the beginning trying to get your hand into the strap. The cost of the unit is outstanding. We have since removed the strap and have used it on may jobs.
