Will this work on the new Hardi 5/8" "Artisan" lap siding that is similar to 1x8 cedar bevel siding? Any other recommendations?

If you get the PacTool that is for 5/8" siding it should work. We have used it for certainteed and will use it for Hardie (tried the thickness and it worked) siding. Awesome!

i got these siding mounts at my local hardware store: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B002W6ZOCO works great. just make sure to measure and get the right cut for the siding on your house.

If the area is relatively flat I would think so. But it's a 1.5 inch screw so it doesn't go into the wood that far. I couldn't do it on my siding which is vinyl clapboard style.

Nope. Just thin cement siding. Backer is to stiff and thick. Believe me, I've tried it on several materials. Was designed for thick material.

These would be great for all lap siding. The Geckos are fully adjustable for all sizes of lap siding. However if you choose the panel siding ( sized like plywood panels ) you will need a partner to hold the panels in place.

I use it on my composite deck and white vinyl deck railing and it works fine. I'm not sure about vinyl house siding.

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

As long as the siding was relatively flat and there was not framing behind that you also needed to cut through. Depth of cut is less than a standard 2X4. Also you might need to purchase a metal blade so that your cut out would be less jagged. Mine came with two blades. A diamond blade for tile work and a multi-purpose blade.

I have used it but I bought a 12" roller from Harbor Freight and placed it on the edge surface of a 2 x 4 and used it that way. This made sure that it didn't drag too much over the surface. It might work just find by itself but you might try it and then try my suggestion.I am using it with a Craftsman Professional table saw with a 30" fence width.

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

I've only used it with the Atlantis Cable (Atlantis Rail System C09784500 RailEasy Cable For Railing). The fittings work perfectly with this cable. Here's the spec: Stainless steel 316, (grade of stainless steel is marine) cable for railing. 1 cluster of 19 strains together. Diameter of these cables are 5/32'' in diameter. I don't think 1/8" would work.

Our Handyman used a 2 x 4 cut to the length of the width of the awning and mounted that to our siding actually under the eave where it was going to go and it's sturdy and perfect. He didn't feel going straight Into siding would hold. He painted wood to match trim. Hope this helps.

Yes Indeed!. As long as there are several angles on the same plane it will work. The clamping faces on each Angle-Plate (clamp-clip) are hinged so they auto adjust to the angles at each corner. The faces of the clamping surfaces are 3 cm in height so for thinner items, - e.g. 1cm - make sure the Angle-plates are centered. I have had great success elevating the clamped item about 1~2cm so the bottom of the angle plates rest on the bench. In cases where I have a very narrow flat face relataive to the overall thicknes (as with when I do moulding) I use a dowl with a one side planed flat. The curved portion rests aganst the curved section of the moulding, giving me a thicker flat profile to clamp against. I have also used a scrap piece of identical moulding flipped upside down and adjusted for width to give me more clamping surface. I would suggest you buy an extra package of angle plates. (I believe the clamp only comes with Four) They come apart - they are supposed to, its quite useful - and I have broken one (my fault, not Bessy's) Also, if you ever do anything with more than four corners you wil need them. (I have used 12 at a time on one clamp) In short, these are great clamps, I have 7 of them, and they work wonderfully, although you may have to get mildly creative when dealing with 'odd' faces to clamp against. And remember: DONT OVERTIGHTEN!

I have used it on corrugated and v groove roofing and it was fine for both. The groove that the metal enters is angled up at the top and down at the bottom to let it cut changing surfaces. The thing has been a life saver for me.

My top railing is a similar size and this plangter works great for me. (A 2"x6" is the rough size before the board has been planed.)

It worked great for me on my house siding with the same issue. Very pleased. Wish I had ordered the larger size.
