Description of Porter-Cable 6605 Fiber/Cement Shear
Cutting cement board has always been a messy proposition, with dust flying everywhere. But here comes Porter-Cable?s 6605 Cement Siding Shear, and the job?s no problem.The shears neatly make straight and curved cuts with a minimum radius of 7 inches -- a good, tight turn that?s impossible with a circular saw. The waste kerf is just ¼ inch, and unlike cutting with a circular saw, there?s hardly any dust at all. When the blades start to wear, it?s easy enough to swap them from left to right until you?ve used all four sides of the blades to a 50 percent wear pattern.
The head rotates a complete 360 degrees to accommodate any cutting angle (so your body doesn?t have to); the handle?s got a nice, soft grip and the comfortable trigger has a lock-on button for easy-on-your-hand continuous cutting. Remodelers and contractors, we think you?ll want to set aside your circular saws and reach for this shear when cement board needs to be cut.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you are a professional or a do-it-yourselfer, this 6.8 amp fiber/cement shear from Porter-Cable is a must have. It will cut any type of cement board up to 5/16"-thick. It makes cutting a breeze while it produces minimal dust. Due to its electronic variable-speed from 0 to 2,500 spm, cuts with this shear were much cleaner and accurate than with a circular saw. Although the blades are long-lasting, they are reversible and it is easy to flip when one side gets dull. This shear is comfortable even after a long days work thanks to its multi-position belt clip and multi-position soft-grip handle.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 6605 Fiber/Cement Shear
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a contractor but have done plenty of DIY projects on many homes with family members who are. We bought this product to side a 2500 sq foot house and were able to do so in about 3-4 weekends with 3 people on the job. We tried cutting a few boards using a chop saw but the dust was pretty substantial. This tool does slow down the cutting a bit but is more maneuverable if you're cutting on the fly and also reduces dust substantially. This is important because the John Hardie website even contains warnings about the harmful effects of the carcinogenic silica dust in the products. The tool is heavy duty and tore consistent, clean lines through the fiber cement like it was butter. Blade showed no signs of wear by the end of the job. I will be using it to side my own home next year, most likely.
