[Shop-talk] RotoZip router / saws

[Mark Watson]

Dear All,

    And to see the Rotozip in action go to their website:

    The third video shows cutting drywall.

    When I used mine to cut the drywall for my garage (HA - I got legitimate 
shop talk into this message!) I grundged up the plastic boxes I used.  By 
the time I finished the last sheet I finally got OK at using the tool. 
Basically I had to be very careful in finding the edge of the box from the 
inside and lifting the bit over that edge.  Even with the guide point tip 
drywall bit (I think that's what I had) I melted slots throught the plastic. 
However, they're behind the outlet or switchplate covers so who can see 
them?

    As for dust, well I was in the garage and I know that drywall work makes 
dust so I don't even remember caring about it.
