    I'm really surprised at the number of people who listed "Rotozip." I got one for Christmas several years ago and have used it numerous times with great results.

      I'm glad you're not my dentist.

        The main one that comes to mind is my old Ryobi belt/disc sander. Never could get the table to lock down square, and the motor died before the first belt/disc wore out. I bought the Ridgid spindle/belt a few months ago and am much happier with it.

          With my eyesight going as it is, I'm sure there are a lot of people who would agree with you (including me). I will say in my own defense, however, that I never used a Rotozip to do dentistry. (Well not often anyway.)

            That's strange to me also. I got one of those for Christmas several years ago also and have used it often - never had any problems.

              Mine was a "gift" from SWMBO. She bought it because I told her that all the reviews I had seen on it here were good. I guess I got a lemon.

                Guess God is not the only one who makes lemons. It is a shame that you got a bad one because I've really used mine a lot and had great success with it.
