rotozip

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the differances between the RZ3, RZ5 and the rotozip rebel, please?

Had a look at daves thread, and it looks a mean piece of kit!

Thinking about it...

Thanks.

The Rebel is an old model, mine blew up on me, the others are on here Tradetiler

the bits burn out very quickly. VERY quickly. Oh and they're not cheap to replace

 

[TMTservices]

which bits are you talking about spooner? Generally? Ive read other people praising the life of the bits.

I'v lived without one except when I had mine for 6 months and hardly used it.

X-Bit Tile bits, the XBFT1 and the 3mm grout cutter. Poor in my opinion. Used them on ceramic and travertine and they tend to burn up. the grout remover is fantastic but again they don't last that long. Unless of course I'm doing it wrong.

the tile dock looks the business but at £100 its a bit of a luxury. My workmate seems to do the job (£25)

not for you then whitebeam? any reason in particular?

I use 365 drills for making holes in tiles and really have'nt found any other use for it..

Now the Fein is another story

You have to use the cutter in a sawing like action... up and down.. bit like you did when your first discovered your man.. :lol:

This prevents the bit heating up.. i h ave had a porcelain X-bit in for well over a yr and use it for stone/ceramics and porcelain and it is still going strong... Don't take this the wrong way but user error can shorten the life of the bits.

How rude!

Yeah thats how I do it...up and down. And the rotozip. Still find it heats up too easily when letterboxing. Think thats quite enough innuendo for one night.

 

[TMTservices]

haha I dont doubt it!

 

[DHTiling]

Are you using the thicker X-bit or the smaller thin one.. that one burns quickly..
