Customer Reviews
Bought these blades for my re-siding project on my home. I am nearly complete with the project and am still on my first blade. I made hundreds of cuts with this blade and think it's an indispensable tool if you are thinking of cutting fiber cement siding board especially to make it fit around windows, doors, hose bibs, lights etc. 3 blades will last a homeowner forever! They work just as advertised and I wasn't able to find them at any of my local home improvement centers. In fact none of the tool people at those stores even knew what I was looking for. Thanks Amazon.
Okay ... maybe I'm just a novice with hardiplank and even with carpentry in general. Even so, I can't agree with everything stated in some reviews. They sound as if one can side their entire home using nothing but these jigsaw blades. I bought these because of those reviews but was disappointed as soon as I made my first cut. Having since used Hitachi's circular saw hardiblade, too, I agree that the amount of dust generated by the jigsaw is minimal compared to the circular. (This may be a somewhat mute issue, however, since the same safety gear and procedures are required for both. Just be outside and upwind!) I'll, also, take other reviewers' word for it that these outlast other, similar jigsaw blades hands down. Certainly mine showed no signs of wear at all following the one small cut I made with it. The blade felt firm and strong throughout the entire cut. At the same time, I can by no means compare my experience to "a hot knife through butter." I found the blade's action to be tediously slow and surprisingly tiring, even for just a 12" cut. I had previously read a review that recommended these jigsaw blades be used only for small cuts; i.e., cutting out notches, holes, curves, etc. and reserve larger cross cuts and, certainly, rip cuts for the circular saw blade. With that review and my own experience in mind, I went right back on line and ordered Hitachi's circular saw hardiblade. I assure you I am really glad I did! My advice is to buy it (Hitachi 18008 HardiBlade 7-1/4-Inch 4-Tooth PCD Fiber Cement Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch and Diamond Knockout Arbor) for use as the primary cutting blade and these jigsaw blades only for smaller or curved cuts, if necessary. For this purpose only, I rate these 5 stars.
