I agree entirely Tom, but as with many specialized tools, how much easier could
he have cut out the opening. I always reflect upon my radial arm saw. When I
bought it from Sears thirty years ago, the salesman said it would do everything
for you except make a cup of good coffee. I always wondered if that meant that
it could make a fair cup of coffee. It does many things, but many of the
things it does can be done much better using a specialized tool.

I saw someone use it for cutting out holes in the ceiling drywall.
It worked well, because he was able to let the Roto Zip run along the metal
ring of the recessed ceiling light he was putting in.
But it seems it would have limited use.
Blessings,
Tom

If you had enough eyesight to follow an outline, a rotozip would probably
be
fine. If not, it's not practical. The blades are not like drill bits,
they're very sharp, and you can seriously mangle your fingers if they come
into contact with the blade while it's spinning.
