I spoke with friends that have the same guide & tool. Great kit. The only difficulty I've had is when using the guide for cutting circles. Doesn't make a difference. The case is great for keeping things organized & clean. No matter how tight you get the unit attached the circle never comes out perfectly.
It's definately the design of the guide. Great tool. And they tell me they thought it was them that were off but hearing what I have told them they to agree. There's play in the unit & once you arrive back to where you started the cut is off 1/4" to 3/8". I've tried it on different materials, thicknesses & rotation speed while attempting to cut the circle. It's loose & not accurate.All in all the tools is awesome.
I'd recommend it to my friends & the guys I spoke about above, again agree.
I've used it twice and had it in operation for over 1/2 hour without and problem. This is the top of the line in the series. I saved almost $[.]. It came with a new bag and accessories. The overall condition is excellent, like new. and would never had spent what a new one cost. Very happy and satisfied and look forward to buying again from Tooliday.com
I bought this thing several weeks ago because I have a project coming up that looks like this would be useful. bucked a little when I hit a tough spot (never did figure out what those were) but as far as I'm concerned the thing paid for itself, and then some, today. I have never used a Rotozip before but figured what the heck.
A window sill that I have a room airconditioner in was rotting out threating to drop the AC. I had a little trouble controlling it until I figured out I was going the wrong direction but after that I got the rest out and went back and cleaned up the cuts. Well, today another problem came up that set that project on the back burner again.
To make a long story short the thing worked beutifully. I had rebuilt this sill 10 or 12 years ago and after pulling off the trim I discovered that the plywood sheathing was also damaged and a few years earlier and I had since sided over it. Now I was faced with cutting out 3/4" of plywood about 5/8" below the surface of the adjacent siding.
Machine was very smooth and uncomplaining. Surprisingly easy to control as long as you let it do the work, It doesn't like to be pushed.
The reconditioned tool came and it could have been new. For the price, I don't see why you'd bother buying this new. Completely pleased with the purchase.
A drill, a grinder, a sawzall, and a handheld drywall saw are always on site and in use anyway, so this stays in the shop. You know, it looks great in the video, and it does what it says, but honestly, I never use it. Also, it's a lot harder to get nice straight cuts than it looks. I can do the same thing with other tools I already have on the job, and none of the guys are used to working with this. The attachments are a pain to swap, and easy to lose. If all you were doing was cutting circles in drywall for two days it might make sense to break this thing out, but in reality, it's more of a pain to bring an extra tool, and switch over, for the few things this might actually do better than another tool. If you don't have other tools maybe this is of more value to you than it is to me, but I would not buy it again.
