Cutting siding with mitre saw.

In this video we explain the features of both 10 and 12 sliding mitre saws that may help people select the best saw for their use then we go on to describ. A saw with a 10 inch blade makes right angle cuts across a board 5 1 2 inches wide sufficient for two by six lumber. I use a 10 sliding compound mitre saw for all vinyl siding and have for years. This is a trick on how to cut vinyl siding the quickest and easiest way without breaking or chipping it.

It cuts siding like butter. Once again this contributes to giving the vinyl siding a clean cut. When cutting gutter material on the miter saw turn the profile upside down so the cut enters the more stable underside of the gutter rather than the top edges. You should position the siding so that the cutting line is hanging off the edge for obvious reasons.

Plus you could potentially cut costs by using a vacuum to extend the life of your tools and reduce cleanup and housekeeping time. Failing to do this can result in your circular saw cutting into the workbench or table beneath the siding itself. These include miter saws chop saws table saws and handheld circular saws. You are not really cutting it you are melting it.

The speed of the blade combined with the backward teeth make a nice clean cut with very little operator effort and without the teeth tearing out and distorting the metal. Lay the vinyl siding on a flat table or workbench. Install a plywood blade backward onto a circular saw. The same 10 inch saw will cut a two by four at a 45 degree angle.
