In recent years, rotary cutout tools have soared in popularity, due mainly to a series of television infomercials promoting one brand. Though it doesn't receive the TV airplay of its main competitor, this DeWalt model uses a durable 5 amp motor--the most powerful motor yet in a cutout tool--making it a great tool for professional drywallers, electricians, and carpenters. To help battle dust infiltration, the tool features a sealed motor and switch, a must for any serious drywall tool. It also sports a quick-and-easy, tool-free bit-changing system and comes with both 1/8 and 1/4 inch collets. We really like the bump-off switch for quick tool shutdown and the simple and effective tool-free depth adjustments. Like other rotary cutout tools, this one uses spiral cutting bits, which work equally well plunging into a cut as they do laterally. In our test we found the DeWalt to be smooth running with low vibration. We had no problem plunging and cutting through 1-1/2 inches of solid birch, whizzing through drywall, and tearing through tile. In fact, this tool has more power than you'd expect from something of its size, and if you aren't paying attention, it can get away from you--an easier to live with problem than lack of power. Some extraordinary claims have been made about rotary cutout tools, and while DeWalt's cutout tool is as versatile as any we've tried, and a bit more powerful than most, it's most effective at what it was designed for--quick cutouts in drywall, tile, and plywood. --Brian Trinen

Satisfaction with aDW660SK cutout -tool:
I purchased this tool because my roto zip cut-out tool would no longer work. I am a believer in Dewalt tools and have a considerable number of them. This tool works much better that the roto zip cut-out tool and I am very pleases with its performance.
Milling PCBs:
I purchased this tool for use as a high speed spindle on a cnc mill. It has performed very well and has no detectable play in the work that I am doing with it, milling PCBs
Great versatile tool!:
This is a smooth powerful and rugged tool. I have used mine to cut drywall, plaster, wood, plastic and even old window putty (glazing compound). I have used it overhead to 'chase' cracks in plaster so I could repair them with Durabond. Even in this very dusty application, the tool has given me zero problems. The 'bump off' switch is a great feature as you can turn the tool off and lay it down with one hand. The handle and guides in the kit just add to the ease of use in specific applications.

Dewalt got this one just right:
This is a wonderful cut-out tool. It cuts through drywall with ease and makes a very smooth cut. You need to use both hands as it is very powerful but I haven't had any trouble keeping a straight line so far.
Like any rotary cut-out tool, it breaks bits! Keep a good supply handy and happy cutting.
