rotozip tool for cutting holes

Don't bother. This is with the rotozip circle guide tool - It makes terrible cuts. The plastic base has too much play to make a perfect circle. I had better luck with doing it by had with a jig saw.

We have tried one too and results were not so pretty sometimes. Also killed a few bits too.

OK for drywall but for a piece of BB get a router.

It's not bad with 5/32 bits. Rather useless with 1/8 though.

It's what I used for cutting circles. I found the plastic base better than the metal one. Really had to reef on the screws to make it hold dimension though. It will run off-track unless you're very careful and don't force it..
