I have a Dewalt [Heavy-Duty Cut-Out Tool - DW660]. Can I treat this similar to a Dremel or Rotozip and buy those accessories to attach to it? It has a 1/8 and a 1/4 collet.

Also, what is the difference between a Dremel and a Rotozip. BOSCH created both and they are both rotary tool. If my Dewalt [Heavy-Duty Cut-Out Tool - DW660] is only used for cutting since it is listed as a cutting tool on the Dewalt page, should I go for a Dremel or a Rotozip?

The DW660 is a similar tool and will accept the same implements. Basically an original Dremel is limited to 1/8" parts, where the Rotozip will accept up to 1/4" parts. The Dremel is lighter and can do more intricate work, whereas the Rotozip is a heavier duty machine.

Thank You very much for your time.:)
