I bought this to cut out cracked plaster so I could patch up my walls with drywall and with only a few moments of cutting the blade wears out. The blades should have been made a little better. I'm sure it is great with other materials but it's not good for cutting plaster.

I bought this specifically for cutting holes in drywall for electrical boxes, but I have since found that it has many uses beyond that.

What I have found:

- As someone else has stated, the depth gauge is a little inaccurate. You will have to sight the depth for this (which is best anyway.)

- Made of quality materials. You've come across that cheap plastic before; this is not that stuff. This has taken a few drops, so far.

- The drywall bits seem to wear out quicker than I planned on. I have only cut 10 holes for electrical outlets and it seems to take longer to cut each time I use it. The first hole I cut went fast and smooth; whereas the last one that I just cut took three times as long, and twice as much pressure.

- The bit will tend to 'walk' if you don't have firm control over it. (I know, I know, this seems obvious, but maybe not to everyone.) Use of a guide or fence should help control the outcome of your results.

- Does NOT tear drywall. Smooth cuts on both sides -- smoother than my Greenlee drywall/keyhole saw.

- You'll need to use the mini-chuck with the guide. The bigger chuck won't allow the guide to screw down. (I think everyone got one with their main Dremel unit, but I'm not sure.)

- Holding a vacuum hose or air nozzle to one side of the guide will greatly increase your sight. This thing kicks up some serious dust, and unless the light is good, the line you're following may be difficult to see.

I highly recommend this product for those finish cuts on drywall where a saw just won't leave the edges smooth. If you plan on cutting more than 20 holes in drywall, I'd pick up another bit or two.

I recently began using this attachment with my Dremel to create prescise lines at uniform depths. Using this attachment, I was able to achieve the results I was looking for. The variable depth is very helpful, but a little inaccurate. Still, I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a simple, but very helpful attachment for their Dremel.

You can control the tool very easy with this attachment and better of all is compatible with the RTX of Black & Decker.

Although this device is meant more for drywall cutting, I find it to be a useful tool when I'm cutting out narrow, shallow depressions in styrofoam for miniature landscape crafting. When I want to cut down to- and maintain- a specific depth, the guide lends me a really big assist.

Sadly, it's one of those accessories that require the use of collets, rather than a chuck, on the rotary tool. Not a really good thing when I'm constantly changing bits, and want to do it quickly. Oh well...

`Late!

IF you were to see how cleanly this kit cuts through Drywall you would know how great this tool is. The cut is nice clean and straight. No wraggly cuts like with a saber saw or keyhole saw. We used it to cut the hole for the box while Mounting Ceiling fans in the Master Bedroom and Living Room of our house and it was Indispensable.
