This drywall cutter from Makita is an excellent addition to any trade or serious DIY toolkit. Developed specifically for cutting holes in drywall & plasterboard. This model is more suited to cutting straight edges, compared with general cut-out tools so will be better for removing sections to make space for wall sockets & switches. This unit comes equipped with an LED joblight, variable speed trigger & a trigger lock, to give your greater control over your work. You can also adjust the depth of cut with ease & utilise the screw-down blade clamp. The DSD180Z Makita Drywall Cutter has base cover plates to prevent scratches & scuffs on the plasterboard, a dust box to catch debris when working overhead & a dust extraction port for compatibility with your extraction unit. Not only that, but this cutter uses an orbital mechanism, which means that it will cut more efficiently & be less likely to jam up or get clogged.
