Powerful, but cheaply made [Posted on 2003-01-10]
Had this for a couple of years now. I really like this tool for it's power and versatility. So far I've used it to cut drywall, cut out squares and rectangles in thin wood, cut metal with the proper bits or abrasive wheel bits, etc.My gripes, are the no tool lock system of theirs. The cheap plastic piece that says # 2 on it broke off and is not fixable, so basically, I just use a wrench to tighten it down now. Also, this tool gets hot. Especially when I'm using bits with the abrasive cutters on the ends. Maybe that's not it's proper function, but regardless, it get's pretty hot.
Besides that, I really like it's power and versatility.

Fantastic cutout saw! Easier to hold than the Porter Cable and I like the on/off buttons better than the PC. While cutting out large segments of drywall (like doors and windows), the PC you have to leave running if your hands are full (of cut off drywall etc.) or manipulate your grip down towards the bit while it's running to shut off the tool. The DeWalt is much easier to just "bump" the top (furthest from the spinning bit) against your chin to shut off the tool. Maybe not the recommended method but it works great when your hands are full. No problems with the tool whatsoever. Just wish the bits cut faster (same with all the cutout tools). Not having to use/find or lose an allen wrench is a definite advantage although the two buttons used to loosen/tighten the collet take a little getting used to. Having a case to hold the tool and spare bits is also nice. Excellent tool that I'm still using and enjoying very much. Would buy it again!
Buy a RotoZip [Posted on 2004-02-04]
Good tool but bulky and over powered. I bought mine when only the tool was avialible. If I bought it today I'd buy the kit, but would definitely consider the RotoZip Kit as well it's $20 more but it's made by Bosch.
The first 5 amp cut-out tool made [Posted on 2004-06-05]
The superiority of this outstanding DeWalt cut-out tolls forced the present manufacturers to redisign thier models.All rotory tools made after, have based thier disign after the DW660 .It is the OLNY toolless bit changable model avbailabvle .The Porter cable is made with too big of a head and the on/off switch is not convientient.THIS IS truly THE BEST !!! A real drywallers dream .I should know because I was hanging when you had to make all cuts with keyhole saws &/OR the only available router was a Black N Decker that clearly stated in the warrannty that it was not designed for drywall and would void the warranty ..Shure am thankful for Dewalts intelligence...
Great Tool [Posted on 2006-12-29]
I've used this tool a good many times cutting through tough wood and it works great with no problem at all although the base could be made a little bit better but overall its a great tool to use.
