Usually if my sigma is on the job I cut my hardi with that it's quick easy and accurate or if not I scribe it a million times and snap it but having just treated my self to a bosch GAS 35 AFC M I was wondering has anyone used one of them fancy blades in a circular saw attached to the dust extractor cut the hardi ?

I use a hardie knife, no dust to speak of.

The old grinder makes a he'll of a dust cloud and covers u in dust I've tried that before and I'm trying to avoid the dust as much as I can that silica dust is lethal

Silica is the second biggest killer behind asbestos so be very careful with hardi
