does it cut vinyl siding with one hand
1268340
I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

It's a little bit heavy for one handed operation. In my opinion, secure the piece to be cut to a bench top or saw horse etc. and use both hands for a even cut. If you are built like the hulk I guess you could do it with one hand.

I don't think so. I purchased an EZ Shear for doing straight cuts and 26" EZ Shear Siding & Siding Trim Cutter for doing 8/12 rake cuts. They work great. Wade

Yes...but there is one for your roof..but works great on siding not sure why it wouldn't work as well on your roof but there must be a reason since they have a different one...

Yes, but if it's too wide you have to cut along one side with metal cutters. But this only happens if you have two togglers or more in the same box.

Not with one hand, but it's a one hand open. There are great videos on youtube that show all the features and how to use.

Yes. Just try to avoid the horizontal ridges. If you stay close to the center of each "lap" you should be fine. The standoff works better on vinyl (and any other type of siding) than a standard ladder in protecting the siding surface.

Yes, just adjust the deep the blade on a 5 on the blade housing. do test cut. so it just cuts top layer of vinyl not thru backing sheet.

Yes---however, I would practice the cut first so you get the feel of the job. I rarely use my other hand saws any more.

No. They only work on vinyl siding. It has specific grooves, where the pieces fit together, that hardiplank does not.

Takes a bit of grip power, but yes. I have heavy duty cutters, so it's fairly easy.

YES. I used it on vinyl siding this spring and it seems to be working fine.

Nope, not at all. I bought this for my husband so he could pressure wash the siding.. He Loves it and so grateful for the purchase. :)

I have vinyl siding on my house. I just tried it on my house. It did not work.

Mine did, you will not build a deck with this saw, but for quick cuts without having to pull out the extension cord, this does the job just fine

Yes! Very easily too. One side has a straight blade and the other is surrated. I use it heavily to cut turf and sod away from irrigation heads and boxes. Perfect tool

I would think that it would, this comes with 2 spray wands, one of which is adjustable from a wide path about 10" down to a spray stream about the diameter of a pencil, the smaller the spray path the more powerful it is, the other wand makes a swirly pattern that the company recommends to clean windows. I would thinks on vinyl siding you would want something strong but not harsh or you could blow a hole in the siding. Hope this helped
