Default Sawzall or ? to cut thru old-style "plaster"

"Puddin' Man" wrote in message
...

1.) Lay it out carefully with pen/marker (might be 9 sq. feet).
2.) Hammer drill with 1/4 or 5/16 " percussion bit every inch or less.
3.) Hammer and cold-chisel to detach "plaster".
4.) Recip saw to go thru steel mesh.


For cutting metal (#4) would not a rotating
disc cutter be more controllable than a recip. saw?
(Also convenient for making little dints to get
the chisel started.)
