i do have a chainsaw we could attach to the robot, but it would be a much
longer tool than the rotozip and thus further from the robot's last
joints, and so we would need to be a lot more careful to control the
reaction forces to the blade. Given the chaotic nature of chainsaws this
would be very difficult, so we would need to limit the materials we were
interacting with to soft things.

Cool! Could a chainsaw be far behind? :-D

last night Leif and I installed a roto-zip rotary cutting tool on the end of the
robot arm.
it looks just like this one:

we don't have any tool bits for it though. It needs a sideways-cutting bit
with a 1/8" diameter shaft. they make them for wood. it would be possible
to cut metals too if you're careful, but a bit for that purpose would be called
an "endmill"
please let me know if you want to use the robot with its wood-cutting tool. if you
want to cut out a shape, for example, you will need an SVG file for
starters.
thank you
