Does a good job, but should cost half as much. by Kenneth A. Edwards (Norwood, NC USA)  3 Stars
November 25, 2009
This blade does a good job of both ripping and cross cutting fiber cement siding. It is however, far too expensive for what it is. It is a thin kerf steel blade with four tiny teeth tipped with diamond dust. I think the blade accounts for 25% of the cost and the name HardiBlade accounts for the rest.

Hitachi Hardiblade by James A. Haithcox  5 Stars

This is the only PCD fiber cement blade I have used but I rate it 5 of 5. The blade has worked flawlessly on 500 sf of fiber cement board.

Not bad by Chuong Nguyen (MD) 3 Stars
September 28, 2009
I have a Milwaukee Circular Saw with the original Endurance blade.
I was cutting Hardi siding with it. Endurance blade kicks up a lot of dust and and chips, etc. The cuts weren't all that bad though, a little rough around the edges, but then I came on here and read about this HardiBlade, and read the reviews on less dust, etc.
I didn't notice that for me. It's still kicking up dust and chips. It may be a tad less, but not worth mentioning in my opinion.
The cuts were slightly smoother though.
So if I had to do it all over again, I would save my money...unless I was cutting these boards all day every day.

Hitachi 18008 hardiblade by BBQsmoker (Dallas Tx) 5 Stars
September 14, 2009
I've tried one other blade but this was the best performer hands down. After making several cuts, even ripping 12 foot siding, this blade never slowed or loaded.

Hitachi Hardie saw blade by William F. Deerhake (Houston TX) 5 Stars
August 05, 2009
I put the blade on an old Craftsman saw to cut Hardie siding and trim. It cuts just as fast as cutting wood with a good blade. Dust is minimal compared to diamond blades and much faster. Excellent product.
