Hello,
I have just purchased a Rotozip RZ1 cutting tool, and I have a question for anyone who might have this same tool. I know that a Rotozip isn’t one of the most discussed tools on this forum, but I’ll take a chance that someone else owns one and can help me with this question.
I’m trying to use the Rotozip to cut a round (or even square) hole in 1/4 inch MDF. For reasons which aren’t important to this question, I need to keep the depth of cut as shallow as possible. I’d like to be able to have the cutting bit protrude no more than 1/4 inch below the bottom of the depth guide of the tool, thereby exposing only 1/4 inch of the bit. But I can’t get the bit to insert far enough into the shaft to reduce the exposed bit to 1/4 inch.
Does anyone know whether this tool can accommodate such a shallow depth of cut? Does Rotozip sell shorter bits, or is there any other idea that anyone who owns this tool knows of to do what I’m trying to do? I don't want to make this cut with a router, nor do I want to do it by hand.
Thanks,
Louis
