Hi Guys
Wife has a guest cabin to vinyl the exterior.
We're using KayCan "snow-white" vinyl siding.
The building needs 80' perimeter by 10 vertical,
What's the best way to cut that type of siding?
I know about skil and jig saws, and I know about
setting a skil saw into the bottom of a 4x8 table.
(I built this little cabin).


What I don't know is how to cut Vinyl without
chipping it?
Thanks Fella's
Ken


I cut it with tin snips. If I wanted better/easier I would use a sliding
miter saw with a saw blade for plastic.


Yep. Big pair of tin snips is the answer.

Thank you all for your replies.
I have a pair of "aviation" snips, which are slightly
serrated, that I use for tin snips, I suppose I'll give
them a try, and if that's a problem, stick a Skil
saw with a backward plywood blade on the bottom
of a table.
