Hardie board is a type of siding constructed of cement fibers by James Hardie Building Products Inc. It is very durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions and insects. To cut this type of siding, use a masonry blade. Masonry blade types include abrasive materials or vented diamond blades that are used for dry cutting. The blades are designed to be used with most cutting tools, including circular, table and miter saws.
If you are a beginning scroller it is best to choose a blade that has a high number of teeth and is of a heavier gauge steel. This will help to minimize the number of broken blades. It will also make the blade easier to control. For example, a blade with 12 TPI (teeth per inch) will provide good control but will require sawing a little slower than a blade of 8 TPI. The number given to a scroll saw blade gets larger with the increase of thickness with each blade. A #9 blade is made of much thicker steel than a #3 blade.
