Thanks, jdb. I read on the hardie spec sheet that it just needs to be scored about 1/8". Did you just score it on its face and then snap it down. Was the edge a clean break?
Did you have to make any cuts within the slat and if so how did you do that?
Thanks.

Howdy,On the two homes for my mom and aunt the score and snap work best for us. We also did cut it with a carbide cement saw that did OK also, it was fast but it did not take any longer to score them and them snap them.

Subject: [DIY] Hardie Plank
Does anyone here have experience with cutting and installing hardie plank siding products?
I see at the box stores that it comes in a few varieties. Big sheets (as you would see plywood or OSB). Lap siding strips. Shingle style sections.
What have you had experience cutting this stuff with?
Apparently there is a special cutter for curved cuts that costs upwards of $100-$200. I'll pass on that. A special carbide cement blade for a table saw can be used. Has anyone ever tried a jigsaw? Has anyone ever tried the score and snap approach, and, if so, how well does that work?
Thanks.
