Milwaukee M18 Cut Out Tool (Two Pounds and 28K RPMS)

[@kllgrogto5838]

It is good to see a tool review by an average person and see what kind of results to expect for a beginner like me. Sometimes PROS make it look just way too easy😂 great video

[@ajrighter]

The cordless is a must-have for us - working hurricane clean up in Texas removing drywall from flooded homes and sometimes there isn't power. Looking to get one.

[@derekmabe3359]

im a drywaller and have been using dewalt tools for years i recently sswitched to Milwaukee cordless screwgun and love it i could really use this router to add to my collection, as i use these tools everyday. thank foe the video and hey not so bad being as u dont use a router everyday. ( better than some of the guys that do use a router everyday lol)

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+Derek Mabe thanks man, it was a sloppy demo but solid tool. Appreciate your kind words. How do you the the M18 tools?

[@derekmabe3359]

Home Repair Tutor Tools & Gear i hang drywall for a living i love the cordless screwgun i have the m 18 cordless screwgun with 5.0amp batteries i love it and the batteries last a long time, could really use this router/cut out tool so i can leave the dewalt and the cord in the dust. but again thanks for the demo.

[@awwskeet05]

dewalt makes a cordless screwgun and router also. dewalts router has a much faster "quick change" system for the bits that doesn't require a wrench or much work just a half turn to lock/unlock

[@DannyAlbeck]

Thanks for the video, I could definitely use this tool in my home right now. I am in the middle of just about an entire reno with new dry wall and ceilings in 3 different rooms. I am already in the Milwaukee M18 family as well with a few other tools so this would fit right in. Thanks!

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+Danny Albeck it would be great for your bathroom remodel, all those boxes to cut!!

[@DannyAlbeck]

That's for sure. After my bathroom is done my brother in law asked me to help with his, haha. Went from not knowing anything about about a bathroom remodel to tackling it myself thanks to you and Steve!

[@chapelhill1034]

I really enjoyed your video it didn’t have all the extra talking that the other KZbins have straight to the point

[@Philippewert]

this guy would be so handy for my kitchen renovation. I have been hesitant to splurge on a cut out tool. This would make my life so much easier

[@quevas93]

Nice looks like what I need for my basement remodel. This will save me some time with the recessed lighting holes. Love my Milwaukee tools

[@jackharper6307]

As a drywall guy, I use cordless cutout tools all the time, we have found that removing the depth guide makes it easier to use when rooting out boxes and or windows and door ways. If we can we like using the bigger bit for windows and doorways or arches,etc and the 1/8 bit for boxed and can lights. As with any tool used in drywall, dust is a factor, so it's important to use a compressor to blow out dust that accumulates over time. I use the Milwaukee drywall gun because of the auto lock, it helps save battery life and helps me not to have to pull the trigger constantly like i did with my dewalt cordless gun. You can run the Dewalt gun on lock, but it drains the battery down to fast. I like that the batteries are interchangeable with all other cordless tools Milwaukee puts out. Thanks for the video and i would love to try the cutout tool from Milwaukee(hint,hint) Lol!

[@chipshot442]

I put the tile bit on to cut concrete board and it works great. Cutting circles out and everything. Thanks for the video. I have a Regular Rotozip and I just bought this battery model from Milwaukee.

[@stormbytes]

Really appreciated this video. I decided to go with a more traditional Rotozip router. With more experience you start to spot the nuances between tool brands and models. Milwaukee is great for the cordless line up but its not my go-to brand for more traditional, corded tools. There Makita is the clear pick. I love some classic DeWalt machines but the newer stuff is unimpressive. I know there are brand fan boys that insist on a single-color arsenal. I rather go with quality and actual value.

[@slim56]

I love Milwaukee tools. This would be a great addition to my collection. I'm an electrician so I could definitely use this cutout tool.

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+james Monk 👍

[@ryans_gu7905]

Could you use this tool on other materials, not just drywall

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

I work in the HVAC trade i was looking to get one of these for cutting the 9 inch circle holes in ceilings to mount registers for the AC/ Heat. This looks like it would be a lot easier than using my jab saw or getting one of those cup adjustable circle cutters you hold up to the ceiling to cut holes. I'll have to pick one of these up asap.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

I like the cutout tool form Milwaukee because it’s not as aggressive as a corded cut out tool and it seems like it’s easier to control. I haven’t bought one yet but I do plan to for an upcoming project. I will be doing a full bathroom remodel and turning a porch into a full season room. I think that the Milwaukee cutout tool would be great for all the outlets/recessed lights and cutting out for the windows in the sunroom. I actually think the corded cut out tools are to aggressive. My younger brother who is an electrician was using one a few years ago and he got hurt while cutting out electrical boxes. He was wearing safety glasses but still ended up damaging his eye. He ended up having to get a cornea transplant because the bit on the cutout tool broke. While he was pulling up on the tool the bit broke and it hit him in the eye with a half of bit still in the tool. So mainly the reason for telling that story is I think that the cordless cutout tool from Milwaukee is a much safer option over a corded one. Thx for the review safety first 👍🏼

[@Lokiip]

Love ours. We have two for the guys to use and they work amazing all the time and take a bit of a beating too

[@mackenzierinier4956]

I am a residential HVAC installer. This tool would be a life saver when cutting out ceilings to install vents.

[@Strategicfail]

agreed. thats why I bought mine. Every time I have to put in a new boot in the floor it's so much easier than using a sawzall

[@GabrielMillerd]

The bit change is very easy when you temporarily remove the depth gauge.

[@bryanbrady5738]

I could definitely use this on c. eiling cutouts for pot lights and outlets in a basement renovation. Thanks for the helpful review!

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+Bryan Brady glad you liked the review, what kind of basement project are you doing?

[@brandonfoust2549]

The reason it took you so long on the tile was you need at least a XC6.0 or XC8.0 for anything other than drywall. Had this tool for 2 years now and have never had any problems.

[@shekkybowen2878]

i have a big sheetrock job coming up in about a month and that tool would work awsome

[@codymcgonagill8072]

Take that guide completely ball or all the way down exposing the bit more plunge the bit in find your Edge and go in the direction that pools the bit toward the receptacle drag your index finger for stability. And don't forget to Nick all the electrical wires electricians love it when you do that!

[@alexschwingel5455]

thanks for the video! would you be able to do a video cutting thru plastic? something like what car bumpers are made of. i'm a auto tech. wondering if this would cut pieces out of bumpers. thanks

[@johnserrano9689]

I as I'm sure many others appreciate the close up look at this tool. Milwaukee has been mad scientist for some years now which has the best tool almost Everytime now over Makita and dewalt which is incredibly hard. now acknowledging this your tool is only as good as your capabilities. to other professionals I know I don't have to say anything but the "ceramic tile" you demonstrated looks to be floor tile which is much harder than wall tile. on that package the carbide bit comes it will tell you it is meant for nothing more than wall tile not floor tile, and it does a great job. I do laugh at those comments where guys often think they're alot smarter than they really are, I don't want to be him right now lol just has to be pointed out as I'm not sure you realized that or edited that part out. once again thank you for your time and effort

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+John Serrano thanks for your comment, the tile I tested was porcelain I installed in a Shower. I've never heard of a difference between wall or floor tile.

[@danielmalloy5436]

I watched your hanging the ceiling video using the rotozip . I have hung some drywall before but use the old school method of measuring boxes and cutting out this is critical and tedious seriously looking into doing it using some sort of cut out tool

[@ryanhardy4440]

Great tool for a guy that does boarding once in a while. The depth guide is a little sloppy for the quality the brand usually holds up to. It will eat through a 2.0 battery pretty fast so I would recommend a bigger battery. Great add on if you already have a line of this brand.

[@bniel798]

Thanks for the review, I thought it wouldn't be good for the tile, I wonder how it would work on particle board, I have book case that I'd like to add more shelves to. This was on my wish list, and it may go down a few steps from what I need

[@homerepairtutortoolsgear1607]

+bniel798 I bet it would do well on the particle board but it could also splinter the pieces just because of the spinning blade. That would be a good test 👍

Hi there, looks like compact but robust tool, I need one for some home remodeling project so please add me to the giveaway draw. I have 5 other Milwaukee tools which I love. Thanks

[@ariip]

It looks like the bit you used to cut the tile is only the carbide. The carbide is only good for the less hard materials and some wall tiles. Otherwise you need the diamond blade which uses the 1/4 inch collet and shaft. A diamond blade does have to be used slowly as the nature of the cutting diamond grit. Sometimes things take time. A cutting tool should not fail because it takes time. Only idiots push blades along fast in tile or other materials like it as if it is drywall or wood. You can not cut holes in anything effectively with a grinder because you can not get the curve. ??? This is not a fail of the tool or the blades, it is just that you did not buy the right blades. Don't count of what Home Dump sells. That is what most contractors think is all there is. I have countless tools that most people have never seen, that are superior to what they sell in stores or are patented and do not sell anywhere else. I have cut tile, concrete and other such materials with the diamond rotozip blade. You just have to go slow. It is using diamond grit which is very fine which is why it takes time compared to big teeth on a wood blade or even your carbide. You can not cut tile with something with big teeth. That does not work. It is not wood or drywall.

I'm new to Dremels, but this thing has been great. kzbin.infoUgkxfPgcZ5_Cl0HDUKkMJAKde11YKQZVgMoR The variable speed is awesome and the cordless aspect makes it so easy to work with. I am constantly finding uses for it that make tasks easier. Recently I put in a new deadbolt on one of our doors. I knew I had to enlarge the hold where the deadbolt goes into the door frame. At first I thought I would have to get a big router and figure out how to use it for that, but then I rermembered we have the dremel. I was able to enlarge the hole almost as easy as if I was drawing with a pen. It's also great for grinding our dog's nails done and so many other household tasks.
