Questions & Answers

will this cut 1/2 inch hardiebacker
Asked by lou December 1, 20188
AnswersYes. I bought one because we re-sided the whole house with Hardy planks. Hardly any dust is created because it cuts about an 1/8" swath so waste is curled pieces not sawdust. Great tool for this use.
Again, the questions is, will it cut 1/2" hardibacker?

Does this fiber cement shear cut a clean edge on both side of the cut?
Asked by AlaskaMountains March 27, 20173
AnswersThe cut is not as clean as you will get from a circular saw. However, there is NO dust when you use the shears. How clean the cut is depends on your skill level. It takes some practice to get proficient at using them. When you are, the edge is about the same on both sides of the cut.

Best cement shear I’ve used. Cuts through it all with ease. Not easy to find replacement blades though. Tough as nails.

only thing I might change is making it fit in the case with the cutting head turned around backwards so the handle is facing up when you cut.
