Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I was eager to try out this new saw. Having never tried (or heard of) a Rotozip before, I was curious to see where I could put it to good use.

Sure enough, I just had to put in a new patio door and needed to cut out some old trim, siding, and j-channels. Man, did this thing come in handy! First of all, you can more accurately cut with this saw than with using a Sawzall, which is what I was comparing it to. It's pretty impressive to have such a powerful tool in one hand, allowing you to make precise cuts with ease. Of course, it can be daunting as well, as I had horrible images of accidentally sawing off a finger or too.

Make sure you have the blade guard on at ALL times, even though it makes it tougher to cut. Unfortunately due to the guard, you cannot make very deep cuts with this saw (maybe 2"-3"). But you will definitely have an accurate, smooth cut, without a doubt.

This saw comes with a blade for wood, a diamond blade for tile, and a fine... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good cut-off saw, but proprietary blades are a hassle, May 3, 2011

I bought this to replace a RotoZip RZ2000. I was using the RZ2000 with the ZipMate attachment to cut-off 5/8 metal balusters, but after about 10 cuts, the drive pin broke between the saw and the ZipMate. Customer service said to send it in - which I may do - but I really needed to get on with the project, so I bought this RFS1000. I immediately discovered that the metal-cutting XWheel (XW-MET1) is getting very hard to find, and the manual warns that you must never use bonded abrasive wheels because they may burst during use. I was shocked, since that was what I was using on the other saw, and it actually runs at a higher RPM. So, I found a source for the metal-cutting XWheel, and began cutting the balusters. I found that the XWheel cuts much slower than the abrasive wheels, so despite the WARNING in the manual, I tried the abrasive ZipWheel, and it worked perfectly (don't try this at home).

The manual states that this saw can use one of three currently-available... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for many house projects, January 19, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
First, I showed my unit to actual house and cabinet builders and one has a RotoZip, while the other a similar tool. They both like them for small projects. They stated that their respective zip saws are fairly durable. The handle on the RotoZip can be mounted for both right and left handed people. The dust collector is great, especially if you have work inside the house. Personally, I used this tool for wood cutting: boards and trims. I find the flexibility of a hand held zip saw appealing.

The only major issue I faced was when I assembled the unit. The external washer needs to be installed facing the opposite side of what seems natural - with the indentation facing the blade. Needless to say, when I initially installed it incorrectly I almost damaged the plastic protector.
