Taming the Rotozip Spiral Saw: Projects and Accessories to Expand the Uses of the Rotozip Spiral Saw

Rating:
Summary: Less Than Stellar
Review: Although it is a serious effort at trying to be helpful, this book is disappointing in both content and presentation. The author presents only two accessories: a base plate and a work table top. Unfortunately, their construction is described in an appendix rather than before the description of the projects in which they are used. The projects themselves are of marginal utility. The book suffers from poor production values, the copious pictures being so poor in focus and contrast as to detract from their content. Although the author rightly emphasizes the safety issues inherent in the use of the Rotozip, none of the pictures show the use of appropriate fences or guards. This book does not fulfill the promise of its title.

Summary: Poor Quality
Review: Between one of my sons and I, we purchased three copies of this book. While the book describes many uses and techniques of the RotoZip tool, the quality of the photographs are terrible; all of the photographs are out of focus and almost useless. However, the text and line drawings are OK. The author does a good job of describing how to use the tool and includes several sample projects.
I contacted the publisher, 1st Books Library, and they informed me that the books are printed in Canada on an "on demand" basis.
