In most cases, drywall is cut by scoring through the paper on the finish side (the one with white paper) using a sharp drywall knife. As soon as you notice the blade dulling, turn it around or replace it. Blades are cheap. Once that side is scored, bending the drywall away from the cut breaks the gypsum core.
Do you need a drywall saw to cut drywall?
You can use a hand-powered saw that's especially made to cut through drywall. The blades are tapered and have a sharp tip that allows you to push it through the drywall with relative ease.Mar 15, 2013
Does Lowe's cut wood for you for free?
