Hello buddy, do you know? if here in Peru there is that tool? if yes please tell me soon.

@drywallcollinsperu What a roto-zip is is basically a small router, I have to believe you have those there, the bits may have to be ordered online but that should not be that hard to get+++Bob

very basic question...

i have mounted electrical boxes and hung drywall in the past, but never with the rotozip. when cutting the drywall as you demonstrated, do you hang the box flush to the stud, or offset from the stud so it would be flush with the drywall? the reason I ask is I question how you cut the outside of the box when it is mounted to the stud.

thanks1

The box will project out beyond the stud to the typical depth,when you route around it you can still feel the edge of the box on the stud side.You just need to allow bit to run a bit shallower.+++ Bob

I found one of these rotozips outside of my wife's aunt's house on the ground. it looked like it had been there for quite a while a year or 2 maybe. Her husband is reknown for not taking care of his tools. The bit was broken off and rusted pretty solid in the chuck. I took it home thoroughly cleaned out the inside wire wheeled the rust off the armature etc. and after a few HOURS of trying and prying finally got the chuck loose and the broken bit out. I can't wait to use it. It has been rescued!

I have a dremel and it will do this job just as good as a rotozip. There is a much bigger range of bits available for a dremel than there is for a rotozip including a drywall cutter and a general purpose cutter.You can also get a cordless dremel which is excellent.

Like the video however I would like to see you cut to a close up of the rotozip cutting the drywall.

Perhaps once you start, pause, move camera to the right so your hands are not blocking our view of the rotozip procedure.

True, it works for a once in a blue moon tool. By the way good router job on the drywall Bob!

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@Lastbreath187  I see your point if thats what you do for a living however I personally have bought "Knock-off tools" to get me by on home projects where the use would only be once in a blue moon. Thanks for watching+++Bob

@oldsoldier17 Id never spend that, do your self a favour and get the DeWalt, iv had mine for 4 years and its still rocking strong, i use it everyday at work. This tool is a joke
