Hello Group, I have never cut drywall before (my house is entirely wood- log walls, pine interior) but tomorrow I am helping a neighbor cut into his drywalled basement to install a cherry door I made for them. The basement walls are poured concrete with 1/4 inch plywood lathing attached to the concrete studs. The drywall is fastened to this lathing and I need to attach some substantial framing material (scabbing it) to the sides of concrete studs so I can lag screw the door hangers in place. Anyway, following lengthy this introduction, would it be better to use a knife to cut the drywall or should I (could I) use my Fein tool? Would a Fien , or similar tool produce too much dust? Again, I have not had to cut drywall so this is a new procedure for me. (And if I did cut drywall before, sadly, I can not remember ever doing it). Thanks in advance for your suggestions, Marc (no Woodduck present at this time, he's downstairs on his living room perch)
