Hello again.
I need to take down a chipboard on an existing wall. The problem is that it disappears behind the walls in the corners (probably built-on walls).
So I need to somehow cut the chipboards along the walls. I considered using an angle grinder but it feels like there's a high risk of kickback so close to uneven wood paneling. The alternative I can think of is to slog through with a reciprocating saw.
Any other solution that does the trick?
Hello again. I need to take down a chipboard on an existing wall. The problem is that it disappears behind the walls in the corners (probably extension walls).

What kind of fine cut do you need? You can of course use a reciprocating saw but there's a risk it will be quite uneven. If it's just chipboard, a multi-tool works excellently or maybe just a manual handsaw with a flexible blade.
Have had to hassle with this problem on and off at our place: Multitool works well, but it takes a lot of time to make a cut on 240cm. The alternative is a handsaw that you pull towards you, think Japanese saw!
It looks like treetex and we've cut it both with a Japanese saw and a multi-tool. Both work equally well and provide fine cuts. What makes it a bit tricky here is probably the angle. In situations like this, we usually take the multi-tool and saw slightly inward if that makes sense, so there's room for the tool itself and hands.

In situations like this, we usually take the multi-tool and cut slightly inward at an angle, if that makes sense, so that you can fit the tool and your hands.
Since you seem to know the material, I'm asking here. We have a problem with odor, smells kind of musty. The board material (treetex) is soft and I imagine it might be the cause of the smell. Could that be the case?
I was also thinking of cutting at an angle so the machine can fit, but with an angle grinder, I'm worried about kickback. What do you think?
Treetex can definitely absorb odors and continue to smell even if the source of the odor is gone, but it could very well be something else that's causing the smell too. We had a very small spot of moldy insulation in a floor that was the source of a bad odor. It didn't always smell, and it was completely impossible to determine where the smell was coming from. At first, we thought it was from old treetex and at one point from the roof, but then when we opened up a floor to install drain pipes, we found the spot, and now the smell is completely gone. It was probably when the wind blew through the foundation that the smell came up through leaky cracks in different spots, depending on where the wind was coming from.
