Ideal for James Hardie Fiber Cement Products and others Review: If you are working with Hardie plank or similar materials, buy these. You can thank me later. - This is a specialty tool for working the Hardie board or other fiber cen Kent materials. It it great for ripping boards along their length or for notching or making cut outs. If you are working with Hardie planks, you will still need a sliding miter saw with the proper blade. The max material thickness is 5/8 inch. Take some scrap and get the feel for the tool before making your money cuts. You have to watch you don't crush the good side of the cut and will see you gauge your cut line by the inside edga of one of the outer cutting blades. This tool has a flat edge on the bottom of the cutting assembly which makes using it on your set p area pretty simple. This tool generates virtually zero dust which is way different than what sawing this stuff yields. Overall, a necessity for working wth fiber cement proucts 5/8 inch thick or less.

Before I bought this Makita cutting tool I was really not liking the scribe and break method, especially the 1/2 panels. This tool is friggin awesome and makes life much easier and way faster for cutting straight pieces in no time flat! Because it eliminates the dust that jig saws or circular saws create, it can be used inside where the work is being done. Well worth owning for this and future projects! ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita JS8000 Fiber Cement Shear - BOSTITCH Coil Siding Nailer, 1-1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch (N66C) - PacTool Gecko Gauge, The Original Home Siding Installation Kit - For Use with 5/16 Inch Fiber Cement Siding and James Hardie Siding, Includes 2 Gecko Gauge Clamps --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11511021-makita-js8000-fiber-cement-shear](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/11511021-makita-js8000-fiber-cement-shear) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
