That's the way THEY say it can be done but frankly it's a bitch. I saw it when I use it but you have to do it outside.  |

I score it with an angle grinder and diamond blade. |

Exactly - angle grinder with a diamond blade. I also have a 4-1/2" diamond blade on a 5" Skil saw to use with a straightedge. Thats' why I went to Hardiebacker. I can shear it and it is dustless. |

I used a 7-1/4" circular saw with a masonary blade. It makes quite a bit of dust, but if you get one with a smaller kerf then it is not as bad. Cuts like a hot knife through butter! |
