does anyone know how to get the adapter. pretty crappy. I had the same problem as others in that the round adapter was missing from the sealed package. it does not work with the scs 01.
Saw another review that said the same thing - too bad I didnt read reviews before I purchased. Received item was missing parts, did not include items pictured - thus, will not work on SCS01 regardless of what the description says.
However when you spin it, the handle bumps against the tool base guide at this setting. (The package says it will work with all models of Rotozip and will make a hole 3.5 - 12 inches).It's true that this tool adjusts to make a 3.5" hole. The smallest hole you can make and still have it rotate freely is 4.5". I bought this because I needed to make a 3.5" hole. I have the Pro Series Classic rotozip which is basically the scs01 but with a straight edge on the tool base guide.
This is made much the same way you or I would have bodged one up in a pinch out of scrap c-channel. This easily, and for little cost, could have been made better. If you're cutting heavier materials or making say port cutouts for speakers, use a Router and something along the lines of a Jasper Circle Jig, and cut on a bench or table.I am not impressed with the construction.
The Round Adapter was missing from the sealed package. Be firm and gentle cutting the hole, use both hands. Missing Parts says it all for me, especially when the part count is low and the part is required for use with tool.
This is an 'okay' attachment for cutting circles in drywall or light materials - a little awkward for ceiling use, but low-end acceptable. A scale marked in 1/4 or 1/8th inches, a better clamping and 'pointered' pivot pin assembly and cast aluminum or even pot metal knobs and adapters would give a little respectability to this attachment.This is a '3' tool at best, if you receive it with all the parts. Unacceptable.After receiving the part after a couple weeks wait, yes, it cuts holes.
If you want accuracy, check the settings out on a scrap piece first.
I don't know if that's true, but it sure did a nice job cutting though oak. But it did a better job than I could have done by drawing a circle on the lumber then making a cut with a jigsaw. I needed to cut a 9 1/2" circle in a woodworking project I was building out of 3/4" thick red oak. It didn't leave a perfectly smooth circle, since it's hard to keep the Rotozip perfectly verticle while making the cut. I was able to easily sand smooth any irregularities.So if you have a Rotozip and you need to make **almost** perfect circles, this is a good way to go. I don't own a bandsaw yet, so I can't make circle cuts like Norm does on New Yankee Workshop. So I decided to buy one of these to use with my Rotozip.A lot of people are complaining that the Rotozip can't go through plywood.
