The stucco guys around here use a Dual Saw and 4" abrasive cutoff tools to cut into the walls to add electrical boxes, windows, doors or to do patch work.There is no shear, 1" foam, chicken wire, and ~0.5" of stucco. It's not the sturdy 3 coat stuff either.
I've tried numerous different ways in the past and I've never been entirely happy with any of them.
How do you all go about it?
I use a muti tool with wood/metal bit. I also use the masonry bit.
Thanks!
I haven't tried my multi tool. I was afraid the stucco would dull the wood/metal blade. The masonry blade seemed like it would take forever.
i just cut out a 16" X 36" hole in 1" stucco for a panel upgrade....
fein tool, carbide blade, score it along the sharpie line, then
use a chipping point in my little battery hammer drill, to break
it up in small chunks, snip the chicken wire, and vacuum up.
two hours, but it looks like it was saw cut.

I got a Roto-Zip years ago, not impressed. Squirelly at best IMO...may be just me...IDK.
Not inclined to buy any other stuff they make.
I don't know, I have a knock off product and certainly only use it as a layman - compared to you guys - but it works like a charm. The difference between clockwise and counterclockwise - the right way - is amazing. The only thing I used before was a manual hole-saw and that requires some skill.
what bit would you use to cut through stucco?
