Have to agree that it will do the job. My Roto-Zip did all the work in my 1100 sq. ft. garage with no problem. Just make sure you use the drywall bit.

Just got email notice that is has been shipped fedex, should have it tomorrow. Christmas in January. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
The project is a few week off as I'm having a hard time getting the colored FRP in the correct size from Panel Outlet in TN, but it will be worth the wait for the savings.

My brother bought one of those barn style sheds from 84 lumber company and the floor was 3/4" plywood. We used my dad's rotozip to cut the floor around where the wall assembly came through. We ended up cutting around and 20 2X4's with the same bit. Doing it that way insured the best fit for the floor.

The roto zip is the cats meow. Something I did with mine, was take a 5 gallon bucket, filled bottom with rock/block material for weight. I then took a 3/4" by about 18" square piece of plywood and cut a small hole in it's center. I rigged the roto zips height spacer piece on the UNDERSIDE of the plywood, with the cord comeing out a hole for on/off abilities. I also put some small blocks of wood on underside of plywood to help hold it laterally in place on the bucket.
Why did I do all this? So that when we did our tile installations, I'd have a working flat table with the roto zip bit sticking up so I could do some freehand work where I needed to fine tune some curves or some such.
Just be careful when someone is looking for a cheap seat to sit on /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Other than that (lack of) safety item, at the risk of not sounding modest, it was one of my ideas that worked out rather well.

Clever idea, Richard. What kind of tile were you cutting (porcelain, vinyl...)?
I like hering the different ways the roto-zip can be used.
I had wanted to pick up some different bits for future projects, but at the price of bits I figured I would wait to see what those projects will be first. I was surprised I couldn't find a multipack of bits for different applications. I'm hoping the 10 pack I ordered gets me through this project.

Close up of "the holder".
This was used primarily for wall tile, though as I recall, I needed to custom shave/fit some wall plates that were too close to some trim. Sooooooo, I tried my fancy invention on that (found out that mitre saw worked better /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif)
Anyways, you can see the adjuster piece of the rotozip that I worked into there...kind of a pain to take screws out to take that part OUT, but as long as it's left inside, you can just twist the tool on/off

Nice.
I'm sure if you were switching from the bucket to your hand enough times, you could always order an extra foot and leave it in place.
The last time I saw a bucket with a board on it and looked just like the first photo it had crap in it. Literally. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif One of my drywall finishers had taken a dump in the bricky's mud bucket and covered it with his mud board. Didn't make the bricky too happy and they were working different shifts, so I was the one hearing about it all day.
