I usually find the location for the box, trace it out and then drill a series of holes at the edge.....about 3/4 I bought a fine tooth wood saw at the Depot and will cut the remaining lathe while holding the lathe with Channel Locks to keep the damage to area plaster at a minimum....the key is a real fine tooth to the saw, more aggressive than a hack saw, but less than a jab saw.......it is slow, but keeps the plaster as good as it can be.

Never had much luck with the roto zip.....
