Abstract
A sheetrock beveling apparatus having a housing with a substantially planar surface on one side thereof. A handle is attached to the other side of the housing. A blade is rotatably attached to the housing about an axis and includes an electric motor for selectively causing the blade to rotate. An elongated guide is attached to the housing on the planar surface thereof so that it can travel in a seam between two abutting pieces of sheetrock to guide the blade along the edges of sheetrock to bevel the abutting edges of the sheetrock. This elongated guide extends longitudinally transverse to the axis of the rotation of the blade. The blade is longer in the center portion thereof than at the sides thereof to produce a tapering effect so that the more sheetrock is removed closer to the seam and progressively less is removed from the edge of the sheetrock as the distance from the seam between the two pieces of sheetrock increases.
