Mr. Stan and all, What I do not understand here I guess is what value does a homeowners carpenter's tool have in a mechanic's toolbox? Roto Zip? This I see on the TV for making door holes in house, or make medicine cabinet holes in wall-- I think these are nothing more than a inexpensive router. I do not have any of these in any of my Vans. I see that a few use the Dremel tool. At best this is a light duty hobby devise for building model airplanes. The cut off wheels don't last very long on steel, or the de buring tools. What is wrong with a straight or angle die grinder, or a 3" cut off tool which is more correct for working on vehicles. I find the Dremel a good in it's place for the hobbiest, but not for the big jobs the people here are talking about. I think it is very best to have air compressor power in any garage, if anyone is to work on their own machine, and some good tools to go wiith it. Good Afternoon, Fred
E-mail message Rotozip seems to capture the market that a standard router with a panel pilot bit was performing thirty years before they put spurs on a drill bit and gave it a new name. I've seen their ads and I fail to see anything special about their product. I agree that they have a patent on the cutting bit but fail to see anything special about their motor with a chuck to hold the bit. I've run a wide variety of custom carbide router bits and even 3" circular saw blades on routers and laminate trimmers since the late sixties. Stan Wilder |
