Use a handheld cutting tool to make straight cuts in drywall that has already been installed. To do this, you'll need a multipurpose cutting bit. Set the blade depth to about 1/8 inch more than the thickness of the drywall so you don't make deep cuts in the studs or contact any wires or pipes that may be behind the wall. 5
Draw the line on the surface of the drywall with a straightedge and pencil. Plunge the blade of the cutting tool into the drywall at one end of the line and push it slowly to the other end. ‒‒:‒‒
