Just purchased a 80 year old house. It is a Ranch style house with

What is the best way to cut into the plaster and lathe to add
additional electrical boxes? I have seen were you could use a grider
and a diamond blade. I tried this and it seemed as if it was burning
the lathe.
Is the Dremmel the only way to go?
Thanks,

I know you have wood lathe and plaster, but a drywall saw should work
great, and produce a lot less mess than a power tool. These saws are
inexpensive, but pick one that fits well in your hand. Be careful
about hidden wires or pipes in the wall.
