Been thinking of adding a rotozip to my collection, but that little bosh colt router looks kind of cool to, and I’m woundering if it could be used for the same thing, only more versatile.
anyone used the colt yet? can it take 1/8th bits?

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.

hadn't heard of using the rotozip for coping. what kind of trim you coping with 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.
