Reply to comment by jetty_junkie in Adding a new outlet box inside new cabinets by mattborn77

No that’s temporary, those low voltage will go somewhere else. This will be where a normal 120v outlet goes.

Spend $50 and buy yourself an oscillating tool. Those cuts look atrocious. You can do much better with the right tools

Do you have your high voltage wires in place, what are you going to use the plug for? You might want to cut that hole in the cabinet bigger, install outlet in sheetrock, and use foam to isolate the behind the cabinet area.

This must be for a garbage disposal or water heater? If you want the plug for something outside the cabinet, do you have room to put it at the end of the cabinet facing out?

No, not the electrical box. I am imagining a larger hole so he can cut a hole for the box in the sheetrock. Rather than just leaving the gap between the cabinet back and the wall open for critters and bugs seal that 1 inch space. The hole is already too big to have an outlet cover with extension cover it.
