Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is a well-known, fast, intense, and warm ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean. Its path goes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, along the eastern coast of the United States, heading to the northeast Atlantic Ocean, to the British Isles, and the Norway coasts.
Hardie board is a type of siding constructed of cement fibers by James Hardie Building Products Inc. It is very durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions and insects. To cut this type of siding, use a masonry blade. Masonry blade types include abrasive materials or vented diamond blades that are used for dry cutting. The blades are designed to be used with most cutting tools, including circular, table and miter saws.
Score-and-Snap. The simplest way to cut cement backer board is to score the surface and snap the sheet along the scored line, similar to the way you'd cut drywall. In fact, you can use a drywall utility knife to score backer board, but a better option is a carbide-tipped scoring tool.ere's how to use the scoring tool: Lay the backer board on a flat surface and mark the cut line with a carpenter's pencil. (A regular pencil will become too dull from drawing lines on such a hard surface.) Set a straightedge, such as a 4-foot level or perfectly straight board, on the cut line.
