what to use for Cutting Fibre Cement tiles ?

[brett1976]

im about to install some fibre cement tiles on my roof and was wondering if i could get away with using a small 4" angle grinder for the cuts ,would this be ok?
i have a stihl saw but i think thats a bit o.t.t

looked into hiring out a slate cutter .


thanks for any info on this matter

scribe and snap, you can use a tile scribe or hacksaw blade or stanley knife if you use this when it blunts simply snap the tip off and carry on

No problem, dont try to cut through the slate simply a nice firm score will do.
