Cutting backer boards

Cheers for the response's guys

i thought i'd give the cheaper options a go first before shelling out on the diamond saw blade for the grinder!! Bought some new blades for the stanley and a couple of carbide tipped jigsaw blades (£1.99 a throw from screwfix)...scored a sheet a few times with the blade but it didn't want to snap so resorted to the jigsaw- cut through first time n not as much dust as I expected-result.

It was the local CTD in Leeds that didn't stock the Hardiebacker cutting tool, even still, sound lad behind the counter though!

Cheers

Chris

Once you score them Chrissyboy just stand board up and hit it with your knee. Should break no bother.

Think Health and safety before using bodily parts as hammers

use a stanley knife for the str8 cuts score and snap and for the cut outs a tungsten tipped jigsaw blade. ordinary wood blade fine for one or two cuts after that its history.

They all have access to them and should be a stock item, if not next day given their extensive delivery options.

Im suprised Newcastle didnt show any!
