In fact, RotoZip is well known for their remarkable spiral saws for more than 40 years. Today, RotoSaw is another great brand of the Bosch family.
What is a RotoZip?
RotoZip is a combination between router, drill and saw (a hybrid). First models have appeared in the early ‘70s. They were called improper “Spiral Saw”.
RotoZip is a versatile tool that can help you cut out those difficult and irritating openings around ceiling boxes or around outlets boxes while they are in place. It is less messy and more accurate than a jigsaw, not to mention that you can cut the stud-box connection when you use a jigsaw.

Another great advantage is that no matter how many old attachments you have such as circle cutter, angle grinder, etc, all match with the attachment scheme of a new RotoSaw.
