I had one when they first came out and used it to route out electrical boxes in drywall, I routed off the screw tabs of a couple of electrical boxes and promptly put my roto-zip in a yard sale. I’m bad about keeping logs of what settings work with what. Ive never considered a rotozip for use as a router, or for anything for that matter. You’ll need to test the depth of cut on some scraps to see how those speeds cut though. For the most part those speeds should be alright. Stay in the 15 to 20mm/s range for 1/8th inch end mills in wood. Actually unless you are cutting fiberglass or carbon fiber, those are the only end mills you’d ever need to use. For now, stick with 1 or 2 flute upcut end mills. Everybody’s build is slightly different which will effect how they cut. That’s hard to do because the speeds and feeds are dependent on the machine. Material cut, Bit – (Brand), Bit Size, Bit Type (maybe dimensions), # of flutes, router (brand/model), router speed,travel speed, depth of cut, z-speed, and any other pertinent parameters. Something with the basics, to give the beginners a good starting point. The white fiberglass hard boxes are somewhat better here, but the rotozip bit can damage them too. Precision of 1/8 bits and strength of 1/4 bits. Yeah, you can use a rotozip, but you have to be careful since you can chew up the box pretty easily. Even if it was only for the bits you sell. Designed for slower, controlled cuts of outlet boxes in drywall. Guidepoint tip traces around outlet boxes. It would be nice if there was a page or table or something that shows only successes. Drywall Cutout Bit (10-Pack) is going to be your best bit for fast cuts in drywall. I bought some various bits off of Amazon, and a router speed controller from the local Harbor Freight and I have initial success!! Better bits, faster travel speed, and slower RPMs.
