Cutting Hardi Backer

[Kyle Knowles]

I've made a shortcut to my home screen gonna have to get myself one of those beauties at some point

Cut outside with the grinder with the dust blowing away from you.
You don't have to cut right through the Hardie, a quick score with the grinder & snap it, a lot quicker than using the knife.

You joking, the dust is bad for you , sugar, I will cut outside from now on I always wondered why the customer always complained about all the dust in her front room while I was cutting inside god dam, why didn't I think of that

I would of the house was empty , not hardie , but to cut tiles , especially if it was raining

 

[Kyle Knowles]

Lol u mad man that's what wet cutters are for

I've cut tiles with the grinder indoor before, when there is a spare room to work in that's not decorated etc, also when customer wasn't in. I always use little ear plugs.
I use no more ply which is same as hardie, just score with knife and snap, or use hand saw for l shape cuts etc. I wear a 3m disposable mask.

Handy tip for 6mm hardie/nmp, for little cuts like the ones around architrave or any fiddly L cuts, just use your tile nibblers.

 

[Flintstone]

Yeah I do that also. I think nmp recommend that as well

I've cut Hardie indoors with a grinder before, just held a damp sponge carefully against the blade during the cut - little or no dust to speak of.
