Arotary cutter spins instead of reciprocating (like a sawz-all or a jigsaw) or shearing (like tin snips or a chisel).

A Pizza-cutter is a rotary cutter, as is a Skilsaw. Some cutting boards use a rotary cutter instead of a shear.

In recent years, companies have been markeing plunge routers as general-purpose cutters for carpentry. They work well for cutting holes in drywall or paneling for electrical outlets, in making holes for Plumbing in bathroom surrounds, or for cutting a hole in the counter top for the sink to drop into. They aren't as easy to use for cutting a straight line as a Skilsaw, but with a fence, or with care in following a line, it can be done.
