    How do I cut OSB subflooring?

    Hi everyone,

    I am going to install subflooring panels made of OSB.
    What type of tool should I use to cut the panels shorter and at angles to fit my space?
    Do i have to use a table saw outside? can I use a reciprocating saw on site in the basement where I am installing? should I use a rotary hand saw?

    I have no experience with anything DIY.
    Thanks!

    You could either use a recip saw, jigsaw, circular saw, table saw. Or you could use a panel saw (hand) but will take a little longer but cuts easy enough with a sharp one and is the cheapest option.
