Replacement Casters & New Tool

[John Ross]

Hi Marcel,
The Rotozip, works like a router. It is 8 1/2" high, and about 3" wide, the
cutter is like a drill bit. It has a bolt on handle. There is even a battery
one.
Actually go to www.rotozip.com  it will show you.
Home Depot carries the Ryobi Heat Gun, Model HG-100, for $21 Cdn.
I got mine at Central, but I think that is only a Maritime Co.

Hi John,

Could you please elaborate on this Rotozip spiral saw (cost, how it works
etc.). Also, where did you get the $20 heat gun?

Thanks,
