## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this used to cut triple wall cardboard?**
A: yes it will. i used mine to cut cement fiber board. they saved me alot of time.

**Q: Can you use this on panel style siding like hardiepanel?**
A: Depends how thick hardie panel is assuming it is also fiber cement. 
The manual says max cutting depth is 8mm (5/16”).

**Q: Is this a "double shear" with two side blades and a center blade that cuts up and leaves a thin curly strip of excess?**
A: YES, my Makita JS8000 is exactly as you described. A "double shear" cutting tool. With a two sided set of cutting blades and a center blade that produces a thin curly strip of excess. Your description is true and accurate of this tool.

**Q: Why is this a quarter of the price of all the other cement shears out there?**
A: In my opinion, there is no reason because the quality of this tool is excellent.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are working with Hardie plank or similar materials, buy these. You can thank me later.
*by T***S on February 24, 2017*

This is a specialty tool for working the Hardie board or other fiber cen Kent materials. It it great for ripping boards along their length or for notching or making cut outs. If you are working with Hardie planks, you will still need a sliding miter saw with the proper blade.The max material thickness is 5/8 inch. Take some scrap and get the feel for the tool before making your money cuts. You have to watch you don't crush the good side of the cut and will see you gauge your cut line by the inside edga of one of the outer cutting blades.This tool has a flat edge on the bottom of the cutting assembly which makes using it on your set p area pretty simple. This tool generates virtually zero dust which is way different than what sawing this stuff yields.Overall, a necessity for working wth fiber cement proucts 5/8 inch thick or less.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool saving you and your tools from dust!
*by D***K on September 24, 2024*

I completed my whole house siding replacement with this tool used for cross-cuts. Reliable and efficient.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved Me From Permanent Lung Damage
*by S***T on August 13, 2017*

I started to side my forest cabin with cement siding using a sliding compound miter saw and thought that I was going to die from the dust. Additionally, the dust crept into every crook and crack in my saw making the saw difficult to use, while ruining the blade in fewer than 50 cuts.The Makita JS8000 is a godsend! No more dust and it cuts as fast as my miter saw. This is a nibbler so it does cut out a 3/8" piece of waste. It allows the user to cut curves when necessary. To augment this tool I use my jigsaw equipped with Hitachi 725397 4-Inch 6 TPI Jig Saw Blades For Fiber Cement Siding. These blades last a very long time and produce very little dust.Between the 2 tools I am VERY satisfied.
