Cutting fibreboard 12mm
What's the best way?
The original sheet was cut by saw, but is there an alternative way for cutting out a small sheet 3ft x 2ft? |

What's the best way? The appropriate blade in a hand held circular saw. Not cheap tho if you are only doing that one cut. The original sheet was cut by saw, but is there an alternative way for cutting out a small sheet 3ft x 2ft? |

I did try a Stanley knife and while it scored the surface I wasn't confident it wouldn't be "pinched" as the blade got deeper.

I was wondering about getting a diamond slitted (masonry) blade that might fit the saw, assuming I can get one with the correct diameter and size or arbour. |

I've used an old panel saw and jigsaw for curves. Cheers, T i m |

I've used an old panel saw and jigsaw for curves. Sorry for the confusion. It seems that cement fibreboard blades for circular saws have few teeth, on the basis there is less dust. I will probably use a conventional TCT blade making sure I'm upwind from the dust cloud. |

I will probably use a conventional TCT blade making sure I'm upwind from the dust cloud. I think that would probably be OK. Don't use too much force. The thinner 6mm stuff is OK with a hardpoint panel saw, but I guess would be harder work with 12 mm. You could probably score and snap 6mm with care and a suitable tool (TCT manual tile cutter would be better than Stanley knife), I wouldn't try that with 12mm. |

I since see he's talking about a wholly different thing than I was thinking of. He: asbestos substitute. Me: Hardboard. NT |
