What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to four different methods for cutting drywall. The first method involves using a drywall T-square. The user first positions the drywall T-square against the edge of the drywall sheet, then uses a tape measure to mark the desired cut length. Once the measurement is marked, the drywall T-square is aligned with the mark, and a utility knife is used to score a line along the T-square, cutting through the paper face of the drywall.

Goal: Make a straight vertical score line on drywall using a T-square.

Tools and materials

  • Drywall T-Square Pittsburgh — To provide a straight edge for marking and scoring straight lines
  • Drywall — The material being cut
  • Pencil — Marking the measurement point on the drywall

Here are four different ways to cut drywall. Let's get after it. First method is a drywall T-square and mark where you need it. Now, you can either take your pencil or you can take your knife. Once you have it marked, put your square right up to it, put your foot on the bottom. All you got to do, you don't have to go hard, just kind of score the paper. And there you have it. Now, it's cut. All right, so what if you don't have a T-square? This case, let's just do 70.
