   I've seen the ads, but not the tool.  I have a Rotozip, and a small Porter Cable laminate trimmer, and I think they are meant for diffeent uses.

   The laminate trimmer is a very handy too for trimmining laminate and doing small edge profiles.  The Rotozip is what I use for cutting holes in drywall and coping trim.  I think the Roto is too small for edge profiling, and the PC too large for coping.

   So, you need to buy both tools.  You deserve it.

   I actually learned it here.  Regular pine interior base and crown.  Cut the 45* inside angle like normal, then you can take off most of the waste with a coping saw or miter saw or whatever, or even leave it in place.  Then use the Roto to trim to the line.  I use a very aggressive bit from Foredom that looks like a cylinder with spikes.  Reminds me of a mace from the days of knights.  Thee is also a bit from roto and dremel, looks like a fluted cylinder.  Very effective, especially when the bit jumps over the backside of the wood and onto your knuckle.

   The difference between a laminate trim router and the cut-out tool is the cut-out tool has a sealed motor, not to mention one has a base and the other doesn't.

   Yes. The Bosch is a real nice tool. I would never use it to cut drywall. The dust would destroy it.
