Remember when you could slice through cement? The WEN 7-1/4-Inch Professional Fiber Cement Saw Blade provides reliable and accurate performance, maintaining its straight shape and sharp edges for longer than the competition. The polycrystalline diamond-tipped circular saw blade slices through fiber cement and laminate flooring with ease. The 5/8-inch arbor (15.88 mm) allows for compatibility with the majority of 7-1/4-inch circular saws, jobsite saws, and track saws on the market. Heat expansion slots help the blade expand and contract as needed to provide maximum accuracy across a wide range of cutting conditions. Our unique PCD formula fights off potential wear and tear caused by highly abrasive fiber cement board, making your blade last. This lightweight, ultra-thin blade provides maximum efficiency during operation, leaving behind a kerf a mere 1/15 of an inch wide (1.8 mm). It’s time to get reliable and powerful performance with a WEN Saw Blade. Remember when you had a blade that lasted? Remember WEN.

Used to cut 100 year old lath and aster ofd walls. Worked great for that

this blade melted thru my cement board with little dust USE OUTSIDE , I cut my pieces of cement board hanging over the bed of my pick up truck

I was eager to try out this cement board saw blade, and was not disappointed. The diamond teeth make a nice fine, thin, clean cut. The blade will work with any normal 7-1/4 inch circular saw. This is vastly superior and cheaper than the scissors-type cutters formerly used on cement board products like Hardie plank siding, tile backer board and others. A couple of cautions when using this or any other cement cutting blade: Wear full face protection, not just safety glasses, since you will get a full spray of grit. Also wear gloves, hearing protection, and a dust mask unless you are in a very strong wind. The dust and grit will be hard on the motor of any saw, so I use an old beater when cutting cement, not my best saw. And I would only do this cutting outdoors.If you are a professional or are only doing one job with cement-board products, this is really the way to go. I wish this product was around a decade ago, and it would have made a lot of work much easier for me and with much better results.

Cut 1/2 in Hardie backer board with ease

Cuts Hardie board (fiber cement board) like a champ. I have a simple Ryobi circular saw, this fits perfectly and cuts nicely. I have Hardie board siding on my house and have a few areas where the board has broken (mainly around an exterior electrical outlet). I have some scrap pieces of board that need to be trimmed and fitted. I tried this blade on a small piece to see how it cuts. Absolutely no problem, easy to handle, cuts like butter and leaves a nice smooth edge. Highly recommended.

I’ve cut a lot of fiber cement board for showers and baths and floors and usually use a utility knife for the 1/4″ board and a grinder with a diamond blade for the 1/2″ board. Neither is fun. I’ve seen various other methods but recently a guy I worked with used a similar blade on his circular saw to cut fiber cement board for a countertop. I was intrigued so I chose this blade. It works great in the sense that it cuts quickly and cleanly, the circular saw especially with a guide leaves a straight edge, and it takes less time. Yes, without a dust collection system it does produce dust, but honestly I would rather use a method such as this one that cuts quickly so I am producing dust for a lot less amount of time. One drawback may be that this blade is best used for long, straight cuts and not small plunge cuts or complicated profiles, but honestly the long straight cuts are the vast majority of standard construction. Highly recommended. Get one even if you have just one project you need it for. It’s great that you don’t need a special tool if you already have a circular saw that takes a 7-1/4″ blade.

So far I have made about 150 cuts with the blade with no sign of dulling. One thing, when I used it in my skill saw it did not work very well (although I had the siding on blocks, not flat). It works great on my little table saw. The picture shows the shingle and lap the siding I cut and installed so far.

Good tool that gets the job done and is cheaper than the competition. Not going to last forever, but will get you through a bathroom hardy board renovation.

WEN circular saw blades are made of high strength quality material. The diamond tip saw blade will cut cement fiber board and if you are careful (thin cut) it will cut cement small amounts at a time will need to be lubricated constantly while cutting. Love this saw blade because it made the score line I needed to remove a large slab for repair. I believe this blade will last a very long time. It fits my 7 1/2″ circular saw perfectly and does not vibrate or wobble. You can depend on WEN. Highly recommend this blade.

The WEN 4-tooth diamond-tipped circular saw blade makes a weird first impression – I’m just not used to seeing 4 teeth, spaced 90 degrees apart, on a saw blade. I only did some test cuts on some scrap laminate to try it out; I love the clean edge and thin kerf. I have another 600 s.f. of laminate ready to install, I’ll try to update this review to see how it holds up over many, many cuts. So far, so good.
