I used a sliding compound miter saw to start putting cement siding on my forest cabin. I thought I was going to die from the dust, but I didn’t have to. My saw was also hard to use because the dust got into every nook and cranny. It also ruined the blade in less than 50 cuts.
God bless the Makita JS8000. Cleaner and faster than my miter saw. This is a nibbler, so it does cut out a piece of waste that is 3/8″ long. It lets the user cut curves when they need to. To make this tool even better, I use my jigsaw with Hitachi 725397 4-Inch 6 TPI Jig Saw Blades for Fiber Cement Siding to help me out. These blades last for a long time and make very little dust.
Between the two tools, I’m very happy.
