Sure lasts Longer Than A Standard Wood Blade
Yes, you can cut Hardie Plank with a general purpose wood blade, but they sure don’t last long. And, yes, these blades are expensive compared to general purpose wood blade. But, they sure do cut the edges nice and clean.
Customer –
Really good tool
It does what it should. I’ve made dozens of miter cuts with it, and it is still sharp, and has all its carbide teeth. It’s hard to find a good blade for Hardie products, and this seems to be a good one. It cuts the cement fiberboard like butter. I think it’s definitely worth the money.Unlike other blades I’ve tried for cutting Hardie products, such as the Irwin blade for cement fiberboard, where the carbide teeth come right off and the blade is useless, this one seems to last.

Clean and smooth.
This Diablo 12â saw blade for Hardie board is being used on my mitre saw. It works extremely well as I figured it would as Iâve been using one on my circular saw for the longest time. It cuts fast, straight, accurate, clean and smooth. Definitely worth the money which was a good price anyway. Plus itâs a time saver. Iâm happy with my purchase and definitely would recommend to anyone contemplating buying one.

Worth every penny
Purchased this for the installation of about 300 sq. ft. of Hardie cedar plank siding. The blade cuts amazingly well. Yes, there is a lot of dust, but just be sure to set up your miter saw so that the wind blows the dust away from you. I had considering several methods of cutting the boards including purchasing/using cement shears which create no dust, but I just don’t see how you can use anything other than a miter saw with this blade since you really need perfect 90 degree cuts. I also cut quite a bit of the cement board trim with this and from what I can tell it seems to cut just as well now as when I started the project. Money well spent.

Great blade for Hardie Board – Shingles and Trim
First to last cut for an entire garage was smooth, true and quick. Will last many jobs – definitely worth the price.
Fernando –
Great Quality
Great blade. So far I have made over 150 cuts and this blase is cutting with no problems. I use the 12 and 10 inch blade and they both work awesome. Don’t buy those $10 ones unless you’re only making 5 cuts.
