Rotorazer Saw Review and Details

Updated on: Jul 26, 2018

Rotorazer Saw is a high-powered, professional-grade circular hand saw that can cut many different materials in many different ways (curved, straight, and even upside down).

On top of this, the saw is useful not only for home construction projects, but for arts and crafts as well. And since it can perform many of the same duties as a jigsaw, miter saw, band saw, hack saw, and tile saw, you can save money, since you won’t have to buy all these tools individually.

Sure, this all sounds great, but can you expect the same level of performance that you saw in the Rotorazer Saw’s commercial, and is it really as versatile and precise as it claims? We cut away the hype to get at the facts, and here’s what we found.

Rotorazer Saw Features & Details

If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, you know that it often takes several different saws in order to achieve the cut you’re after. In response to this, the manufacturer claims that Rotorazer Saw’s versatility allows it to do the job of several different saws, and to make straight, curved, and even plunge cuts.

Specifically, it can be used as a jigsaw, circular saw, hand saw, band saw, tile saw, hacksaw, and miter saw, but with the convenience of a single lightweight, portable, and durable handheld saw.

Each Rotorazer Saw comes equipped with a 400-watt motor that allows you to cut at more than 3,400 RPMs, and that its construction-grade chassis will fit inside your hand, regardless of size. On top of this, its safety switch means that it won’t engage until you want it to, and its Adjustable Cutting Depth Lever allows you to choose the perfect depth (shallow, medium, or deep).

To begin using your Rotorazer Saw, the company claims you’ll just need to follow these 5 steps:

1. Attach the appropriate blade based on your cutting surface.
2. Press the Protective Safety Switch downward.
3. Slide and hold the Thumb Control Power Switch forward.
4. Adjust the Blade Guard to your desired cutting height.
5. Plug the Rotorazer Saw in and begin cutting.
