It is easiest cleanest way I've found to cut large openings in draywall. I just received a new one in the mail after about a week and a half. I had a motor in my rz18 burn out well after a warranty would have run out. I like a company who stands behind their tools. I haven't had the best luck using it with wood, I would prefer the power of a router. This tool is great with the dust extractor and a window/door drywall bit.
It has ample power with smaller bits such as 1/4" round over, or a 1/2" dish cutter. (The trick to accurate, straight cuts is to use a straightedge - this applies to all rotary tools). With this setup, I've been very pleased with the rotozip's performance as a cordless router. Well built, high quality tool (like many other Bosch products). Product support is very good. I use it more as a router than for any other purpose.
I've used it to. I adapted a Dremel Advantage plunge router base to work with my rotozip (the round collars are the same diameter, making this quite easy to do). This bothered me a lot when I first purchased the tool. That's my main reason for a not giving the tool a 5 star rating. If you've got a mountain of metal to cut, or wood to rout, I would probably use a plug-in tool.
o rout wood. However, to be fair, it is no louder than my other plug-in routers spinning at 30,000 rpm. o Rather noisy. Batteries and charger are compatible with my other 18V Bosch bluecore tools (jigsaw, circular saw and planer). When I first spoke with Rotozip about the loose handle, they promptly mailed me a new one. The included standoff attachment works, but is rather unsteady. o Somewhat wobbly handle. It works, but is not as rock solid as I would like.
Remember, this is a battery powered tool. They charge very quickly (1/2 hour). o cut other metal including nails, bolts, rebar. However, after more than a year of use I hardly notice it anymore. o sand wood. Other:. While I've only used it on wood, I imagine it would remove paint, rust, and other stuff quite effectively.
I also have the sanding kit. o cut metal roof sheets (using zipmate). Versatile. Cons:. In my experience this can extend the charge cycle by up to another 1/2 hour. However, I 've surprised myself with how often I reach for this tool first.
Pros:. The tools (wrench, collets, and some bits) all fit in the handle, and so are with you wherever you are using the tool (a nice feature in a portable tool). It makes the rotozip into an aggressive disk sander, that removes wood very quickly. Highly recommended. It has proven to be much more useful than I ever thought it would.
The portability is well worth the trade off of a limited runtime in many cases. Unfortunately, while a better fit, it is still not as solid as one would like. This is a great tool. o cut holes in drywall. However, if the tool has been worked hard the charger waits till the battery cools down.
This is for rough work only. However, it is "good enough", especially considering all of the other good points about this tool.
Spiral bits were good for triming some siding where a 'sawzall' would have likely damaged adjacent finish mat'l. With the accessory "zip mate" and metal cutting wheel we cut the nails off quickly even in tight dark corners using eye protection of course. And the rotozip seems to go a long ways for a battery tool. This has been a little labor saver that comes in handy for odd jobs where a reciprocating saw would be too awkward. Under a floor that was being left while a new subfloor was reinstalled we had hundreds of nails to cut off. I did get it for a great price though as a manager at a store marked it down thinking it was a useless non-seller. Battery has a better than average charger that works with a my many other Bosch cordless tools.
He has never owned a tool like this. It does everything that he needs it to do and more. I purchased this for my husband. We would recommend it to anyone. It has made his life easier. He loves it.
