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.

Ken those snips that you have are great for cutting the nailing flange.

The blade is too short to provide a clean cut when cutting the face of the
board or to protect you hand.

A decent set of siding snips will run $25 or less. Here is a link;

The longer blade protects the cut and the longer handle protects you hand.
