Fast and accurate way to cut plasterboard to match patress boxes - how
do *you* do it? Is there a definitive method? Tried a plasterboard saw (slow, not terribly accurate) Tried a Fein multimaster with a tatty old blade in it (fast, can be accurate, but too easy to overcut) With care and patience, any method will be no problem - but I have a lot of them to do, so it's worthwhile to find the *best* way. I'd prefer to fix the patress boxes on the studs first, measure the loose board with reasonable accuracy, take out a core in the board, in approximately the right place with a holesaw, pull the cables through the hole, fix the board, then trim the plasterboard to match the patress box. However, I could leave the cables loose, fix the board, cut the holes for the patress boxes (using a template), pull the cables through, then fix the patress boxes through the holes. What works best? |
