Billy and All, I'm told by our master track layer, Jack Troxell, that if your going to cut your own Homosote with a conventional saw you must do it outdoors on a windy day so most of the dust blows into your neighbors yard! Actually the static attraction of bead board is about the same--and a windy day works well there too.
