The saw attachment works just as I had hoped, but the safety shield on the bottom broke and now the saw blade is exposed. The shield was held on by a small plastic clip.
Got this attachment for my rotozip thinking that the decription would allow it to be used somewhat like a smaller circle saw. Since I've just gotten a Dremel Multi-Max, I'm thinking of selling the rotozip. The blade works more like a sander than a cutting blade in that dust flys out of it like crazy. And the rotozip has so much power, even on low speed, that the tool is hard to control when cutting.
I also appreciate the adjustable depth-of-cut.I've never owned a rotozip before but I knew I had this job coming up so I got the Rz20 kit and purchased this attachment locally. You have to be able to hear/feel it snap into place and it can take some effort the first few times. Used the thing last week to cut some siding and sheathing from around a window frame that needed rebuilt. First time I put mine on I used a rubber mallet to get it up there. I especially liked the way you can reorient the series of attachments to get get the most advantageous angle on your work. It uses two hooks about midway up the blade that MUST be engaged and then the cover must be slid up to engage the release tab. I did read one review where the reviewer thought it was cheaply made because the cover kept falling off.
About the only other tool I can think of that may have done the job better would be a $400 multimaster. The whole shebang all gathered together is a little intimidating but if you take a little time to go through the manual and try to understand how each item fits and plays together it is really pretty simple. Matter of fact, the whole system uses interlocks or clamps or both to hold things in place.All-in-all I am very satisfied with the tool and impressed with the insight that went into the design. It will fall off if its not properly installed.
I used this while renovating a bathroom and it was a lifesaver. No other product like it around.
It worked fine.Neither the attachment nor the Rotozip's instructions indicated that the attachment had to be pushed down flush with the Rotozip's body but I figured it out anyway. It comes with a flush wood cutting blade. Works as advertised. I had to buy a flush masonry blade for my purpose. Overall works great. I used it to trim a drain that stuck out above the concrete.
