I've used this tool a good many times cutting through tough wood and it works
great with no problem at all although the base could be made a little bit
better but overall its a great tool to use.
The superiority of this outstanding DeWalt cut-out tolls forced the present
manufacturers to redisign thier models.All rotory tools made after, have based
thier disign after the DW660 .It is the OLNY toolless bit changable model
avbailabvle .The Porter cable is made with too big of a head and the on/off
switch is not convientient.THIS IS truly THE BEST !!! A real drywallers dream
.I should know because I was hanging when you had to make all cuts with keyhole
saws &/OR the only available router was a Black N Decker that clearly stated in
the warrannty that it was not designed for drywall and would void the warranty
..Shure am thankful for Dewalts intelligence...
Good tool but bulky and over powered. I bought mine when only the tool was
avialible. If I bought it today I'd buy the kit, but would definitely consider
the RotoZip Kit as well it's $20 more but it's made by Bosch.
Fantastic cutout saw! Easier to hold than the Porter Cable and I like the
on/off buttons better than the PC. While cutting out large segments of drywall
(like doors and windows), the PC you have to leave running if your hands are
full (of cut off drywall etc.) or manipulate your grip down towards the bit
while it's running to shut off the tool. The DeWalt is much easier to just
"bump" the top (furthest from the spinning bit) against your chin to shut off
the tool. Maybe not the recommended method but it works great when your hands
are full. No problems with the tool whatsoever. Just wish the bits cut faster
(same with all the cutout tools). Not having to use/find or lose an allen
wrench is a definite advantage although the two buttons used to loosen/tighten
the collet take a little getting used to. Having a case to hold the tool and
spare bits is also nice. Excellent tool that I'm still using and enjoying very
much. Would buy it again!
Had this for a couple of years now. I really like this tool for it's power and
versatility. So far I've used it to cut drywall, cut out squares and
rectangles in thin wood, cut metal with the proper bits or abrasive wheel bits,
etc.My gripes, are the no tool lock system of theirs. The cheap plastic piece
that says # 2 on it broke off and is not fixable, so basically, I just use a
wrench to tighten it down now. Also, this tool gets hot. Especially when I'm
using bits with the abrasive cutters on the ends. Maybe that's not it's proper
function, but regardless, it get's pretty hot.Besides that, I really like it's
power and versatility.
In recent years, rotary cutout tools have soared in popularity, due mainly to a
series of television infomercials promoting one brand. Though it doesn't
receive the TV airplay of its main competitor, this DeWalt model uses a durable
5 amp motor--the most powerful motor yet in a cutout tool--making it a great
tool for professional drywallers, electricians, and carpenters. To help battle
dust infiltration, the tool features a sealed motor and switch, a must for any
serious drywall tool. It also sports a quick-and-easy, tool-free bit-changing
system and comes with both 1/8 and 1/4 inch collets. We really like the
bump-off switch for quick tool shutdown and the simple and effective tool-free
depth adjustments. Like other rotary cutout tools, this one uses spiral cutting
bits, which work equally well plunging into a cut as they do laterally. In our
test we found the DeWalt to be smooth running with low vibration. We had no
problem plunging and cutting through 1-1/2 inches of solid birch, whizzing
through drywall, and tearing through tile. In fact, this tool has more power
than you'd expect from something of its size, and if you aren't paying
attention, it can get away from you--an easier to live with problem than lack
of power. Some extraordinary claims have been made about rotary cutout tools,
and while DeWalt's cutout tool is as versatile as any we've tried, and a bit
more powerful than most, it's most effective at what it was designed for--quick
cutouts in drywall, tile, and plywood. --Brian Trinen
