Overview

The DEWALT DW660 Rotary Cut-Out Tool is built for fast, precise openings in drywall and other materials. Its compact profile houses a robust 5-amp motor that reaches up to 30,000 RPM, delivering confident cuts in tight spaces. A dust-sealed motor and switch help resist debris on busy jobsites, while a durable jam-pot construction contributes to long-term reliability. The tool uses spiral cutting bits for smooth plunging and lateral cuts, making it versatile for drywall, tile, and more.

• Tool-free bit change for quick setup without hunting for wrenches.
• Includes both 1/8- and 1/4-inch collets for flexible bit options.
• Bump-off switch enables fast shutoff when you need to halt a cut.
• Adjustable depth and an accessible guide help you control cut depth with accuracy.
• Slim, ergonomic body design reduces fatigue during extended use.

Power, Performance, and Durability

The 5-amp motor delivers up to 30,000 RPM, offering more cutting power than expected for a tool of its size. When cutting double board or windows, the manufacturer notes up to 25 percent more power, which can translate to quicker progress on demanding jobs. The tool is designed with a dust-sealed switch to extend life in dusty environments, and jam-pot construction adds ruggedness for job sites.

• Spiral cutting bits enable smooth plunges and confident lateral cuts across materials like drywall and plywood.
• Dust-resisting features help protect the mechanism during daily use.
• 10-foot cord with internal clamp keeps working space tidy and reduces drag.

What You Can Cut and Where

Ideal for fast cutouts in drywall, plywood, ceramic tile, Plexiglas, cement board, countertops, and acoustical ceiling tile. The DW660 is designed to handle overhead or on-edge cuts with steady control, making it a staple for professional drywallers, electricians, and carpenters.

Included in the package are the cutout tool, a shoe, a drywall cutting bit, and both 1/8- and 1/4-inch collets, so you can start cutting with the right fit out of the box.

For best results, pair the DW660 with spiral bits and steady guiding when plunging to avoid overcutting. While powerful, careful handling helps maintain control and safety on busy job sites.
