How to adjust cut drywall?

[ZipLock]

What is the trick for adjusting a cut drywall panel that became a bit too long, or alternatively, needs to be adjusted when it's in an inner corner and the opposing wall isn't 100% straight?

I use one of these.

handsaw if it's more than 1 cm

I usually use a surform.

A regular rasp works too.

A surform and a drywall saw are excellent tools for that:

There are many models of the drywall saw but the surform is absolutely indispensable when working with drywall.

Thanks for the tips! Doesn't it create a terrible amount of dust when you rasp?

Yes

but with the rasp/surform the gypsum rubbish falls right down, it doesn't whirl around the house.

but with the rasp/surface form, the plaster crap just falls right down, it doesn't spread around the house.

You mean like it can when you use the circular saw instead?

At least it doesn't suck the plaster dust into the motor

Yes, it shouldn't become a rule. Neither for the cleaning lady nor for the circular saw. But sometimes you're just tired and want to get rid of a piece quickly...
