Rotozip... clockwise or counterclockwise?

Apr 24, 2007 5 Replies

When using a rotozip to cut around an electrical box, do you go around the box clockwise or counterclockwise?



Thx!


Not sure which way the rotozip spins, but you want the force of the cutting to push the bit against the box.

Yes, which ever way doesn't let it walk across the wall.

If you're south of the equator you should reverse the advice given.

Counter clockwise. But you have a been given a lot of great advice already. If you haven't tried them, pick up some of the next bigger size 5/16 I believe, more durable.
