I have never used one, never even really got up close and personal with one
however I don't see any reason why one couldn't use one as well and much the
same as one uses a circular saw. For special applications of course it would
work better and there's the rub. so far I haven't had enough special
applications to justify having one.
I don't see any reason why one would not work very well for cutting sheet goods
and if you use a good guide the quality of the cut would probably be superior.
For plunge and stopped cuts like for example cutting out the well to receive a
sink in a counter top a spin saw is probably the superior tool.
If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie

I saw someone use it for cutting out holes in the ceiling drywall.
It worked well, because he was able to let the Roto Zip run along the metal
ring of the recessed ceiling light he was putting in.
But it seems it would have limited use.
Blessings,
Tom

If you had enough eyesight to follow an outline, a rotozip would probably
be
fine. If not, it's not practical. The blades are not like drill bits,
they're very sharp, and you can seriously mangle your fingers if they come
into contact with the blade while it's spinning.
