      Hi Phil
     Roto zip is like a dremel on steroids. It's commonly used in consruction 
trades to trim drywall etc. Try roto-zip.com & see what comes up.

Dale,


I have no idea what you're talking about.  Picture?

    List
  I've never found any use for the darned thing till today.  I was staring at 
the rib notches of an S&S B before installing the board & thinking I have to 
clean those a bit more. I dislike this part of belly work.  Scraping & 
steaming etc. I was thinking quick fix.  So I whipped out the roto zip with  the 
spiral blade thingees & router like end & using it in a flat configuration was 
able to clean & rough up the notches a bit in about 5 minutes. I just layed the 
length of the blade in to the notch & & presto chango it was done!
  Also I'm always cleaning the slots of music desk guides to fit the new 
glides after a string /belly job on a Steinway. I usually use a thinned out chisel 
with moderate success & nashing of teeth but this little hummer cleaned it up 
pretty well in short order & was very controllable.
  ANy others have a use for this tool?
  Good day
  Dale
