Could I use these shears to cut the ends of fiber cement siding that is already installed, in order to install wider trim boards?

I would say no as you would not be able to get the blade underneath the board. It cuts like scissors.

I do not believe there is any way to trim fiber cement boards with these shears after installation. They are designed for new installation of siding boards only! You might, however, consider a circular saw with a hardi-board blade...good luck...

I used mine on plaster and some green boardIt would probably cut concrete but you would likely burn up your blades.

not quite sure, but knowing that most companies buy products that already made I would suspect they might. If you can pull out one of you original ones and measure it you could tell. These are 1/4 inch diam x 1 1/2 long the shear areas are 1/4 inch and 1 inch.

No way. They have fiberglass reinforcement (look closely and you can see it) so cutting them would expose the fiberglass fabric, and maybe also lead to deterioration.

I would think u could use a hack saw to remove them. That's what I used to cut an end piece off

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

I am not sure. We used them for cutting through 1/4" cement board, 1/4" porcelain tile and 3/4" wood stacked. We needed to keep them wet, but they did the job. Hope this helps

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

As long as the thickness is within the tolerance of the gauge, it should work. We have only used them on fiber cement siding so far.

You would have to potentially turn them upside down to use them. As they are they are very stiff and heavy to cut so I imagine it would be uncomfortable. I would recommend the soft grip fiskars, might be the better option.

They should be able to. However I wouldn't waste the money. These aren't very sharp and they all scratch easily. The $5 pair of shears that I have are much better.

This tool is not really designed to do all of that. it will cut thru your drywall easily. I would suggest a sawzall for your studs and hardi siding. Use a jig saw for you cabinet. I used it to cut access holes in interior plaster walls and it worked great.

No. I have read it is NOT safe to trim these as they have some kind of fiberglass in the middle of them.

Instead of cutting them, I would turn under the ends to get the required length. Fabric might fray otherwise.

I think you might be able to, you would cut each support rod to the length you need, though I don't remember exactly how long the intermediate support rods are!

I don't know. Probably not unless there is a special blade to used. Blades are small and delicate. Can be used to cut cement board.

you could probably cut these, but you would need some heavy duty/work scissors! good luck.
