Can anyone let me know if this tool can be used to cut plaster and lath, or is it limited to wood and drywall?
Id be hard pressed to try this out on lathe and plaster, the Makita I’ve heard is fairly underpowered too compared to the competition, many times going through lathe and plaster I’ve found chicken wire too, hate to get a drywall router tangled in that mess, sawzall with a carbide blade works pretty good

I think you are talking about a different tool. The XDS01Z is not a drywall router.

Ah yes forgot about the “jig saw like” tool.
I am nut sure of the power of that tool I know @KnarlyCarl could weigh in on it, he’s one of the few I know that have it. I don’t think I’ve seen blades though long enough and tough enough to deal with lathe and plaster though…
