Where do you attach the bit to? Pictures? I try googling it and I end up with wierd sets and kits but not a specific one piece router bit

if you use a jigsaw to cut acrylic, have someone with you that keeps the acrylic wet with water. the helper must follow you, wetering (is that a word?...im a french guy so...) so.... wetering just before you cut, keeping the acrylic wet enables you to cut without too much melting.
yes the acryllic melts but only because of the blade friction. On a jig saw only the front tip does the cutting...the rest of the blade rubs on the material and produces drag.
On a Rotozip...the entire blade cuts and is in constant motion so it cuts faster and reduces drag...both things keep the temperiture down to avoid melting the material.

this is similiar to the drill that I have - same brand and type
so I could just buy a router bit and just hook it up?
So I am assuming Router bit vs Roto - zip...
Roto-zip wins?

welll...no for several reasons...Think of a Rotozip as a dremmel tool on steroids. It's RPM is WAY above your drill as is the maximum torque. You also need a flat guide in order to make a smooth even cut. The Ritozip bit is a LOT differant than a router bit. Router bits are generally quite a bit larger in diamiter than the shaft while the Rotozip bits are only slightly larger...this produces a thinner cut for less wasted material.
Additionally...Hitting a nail or screw with a router bit will distroy it while the Rotozip bit will slice it in half and keep on cutting.

I also have a dewalt 12" mitre saw. Its great for cutting upright supports. alond with the reg tools cordless drill circular saw, etc.
