Is there an easier way of cutting Wonder Board (cement board)?

Question

I used a razor but it killed the blade in about two seconds. Is there a special saw for this stuff that won't make a huge mess?

Answer 1

Circular saw or angle grinder with a masonry diamond blade will slice it like butter but there will be a ton of dust (i.e. mess). Because of this, I always use a respirator when I cut it this way. A dust mask won't cut it-excuse the pun. A utility knife blade (razor) is thicker than a normal razor blade so it should last 2 to 3 cuts especially since it's only used to score the surface before you snap it. You can use a rotozip saw to cut curves but it also creates a big mess. A jig saw can cut it with relatively less mess but the blades will wear out fast and end up costing a lot more than other more-mess options. I say stick with the utility knife. Don't cut yourself!

Answer 4

Cutting Wonderboard

Answer 5

Wonder board is antiquated. use dura rock or fiber rock. these can both be put up by one guy with a blade. it is cheaper and more durable than wonder board.

Wonder board is not meant to be cut with a blade but a circular saw.

If you need a company in which to by fiber rock I can get you an importer who can sell it to you really wholesale. Email me.

Answer 6

I was always told use a hand held razer
and follow the marked line.

If you can wet it down and use a jigsaw with a very fine blade that might help.

Answer 7

Use a straight edge and a razor blade cutter, score the paper, lay on a piece of 2.4 and whack with your hand and it will crack off, then use the razor cutter again and cut the paper.

1. SAFETY! This a comon sense approach to EVERYTHING in life! Use good judgement, don't take chances. Horses are big and accidents are looking for a place to happen! 2.Walk you horse to the barn on a short rope. CONTROL is a MUST to prevent and/or lessen any accident. It is courtesy to have control of your animal. Even if it isn't a horse. 3. Halter hooks are for your halter and leadrope. Easy access in case of emergency and shows organization in your area. Besides if you hang your bridle,tack, etc. it clutters the hook, temptation of theft is there, and if you need your halter in a hurry you must DIG for it. Keep it simple and neat-one halter and lead! Mark your name on it-many halters look the same! 4.Anything glass will break when dropped on cement. Broken glass flying can cut and or permanetly damage an animal or person for life. Plastic is cheap and wonderful around horses for drink bottles, medicine bottles, and personal items. Accidents happen-no glass around horses period is a better rule. 5. IF your stall has just been cleaned and your horse needs to leave his necessary items behind then just clean the stall. Pick up after you animal. It keeps the smell down for EVERYONE! That is why we have pooper scoopers of all sizes. 6.Tack up and leave! Don't sit around and talk while others are waiting. Don't leave your horse unattended. It's similiar to 10 minute parking. It's there to help you. Don't abuse it. I wonder if they have horse removal where as cars can be towed?! Just kidding! Tacking areas are for SAFETY. Tack up there and go so the next person can use that area to tack up or untack. If you groom/clip your horse sweep up the hair, any droppings your horse left, and anything you use return it to its proper place. 7.Arenas are for riding only. Don't turn you horse loose in there. SAFETY (that word again) a loose horse can cause a rider and/horse to be injured. Loose horse want ot run and kick and might spook or kick another horse and rider. 8. PICK UP YOU STUFF! Items left out can cause someone to fall, a horse to spook, any a number of things can happen. USE COMMON SENSE! If something is on the floor-pick it up. Someone might have dropped an item and not realized it. Don't assume (*** out of U and ME) just prevent a problem before it happens! SAFETY! (yes that word again)! 9. Mark you equipment!! Name, but law enforcement recommends you rdrivers license number marked on everything! Especially saddles and trailers somewhere only you know where it is (under conchos, underneath the skirting in the leather, metal dee rings, etc.) more than one place is recommended. Sometimes people accidently pick up an item that look like theirs. If someone has your ? , ask first, don't be rude! Happens a lot with brushes. Most time it is a honest mistake. You can make friends this way and if you are the one to pick up the wrong stuff then just apologize and go on. I have made many friends in this case and have been on both sides of this problem. Last but not least-bring only what you need to the barn. Don't use it as a storage area-temptation to those who will steal-and too much stuff causes clutter, no organization, asking for an accident! 10. This and nine run together. PICK up yur stuff! Don't throw down your trash! "Leave only footprints and hoofprints" My quote! If you see something unsafe..FIX IT or REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY! Once again return everything you use to its proper place. Clean up any hair, droppings, trash, soda cans, etc. you used. IF you think a horse is sick or injured and no one is around who is responsible then REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY to the barn owner!!!!! 11.Don't EVER allow a horse to go through a small (human) doorway. You could get hurt, your horse could get hurt, and/ or someone trying to go thru may also get hurt!! It's easy for a horse to catch a stirrup and SPOOK! The horse may run thru the doorway and run over a person and/or another horse (use common sense) don't take short cuts! SAFETY! 12.YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR GUESTS! Children are curious and can quickly wander off. YOU are responsible for anything they do! Advise them of the barn rules before you allow them to enter. Educate them on horse safety or keep them outside if in doubt. Don't allow kids to run around in the barn. SAFETY for everyone! 13.No dogs. I have a GREAT DOG.....BUT horses see dogs as a threat especially if a mare has a colt, and can/will bite, kick at a dog they don't know. Some dogs will bark, growl, bite at a horse or people they don't know! So don't take your dog to the barn. SAFETY (don't ever ignore this word) FIRST! There is no excuse for not be safe! People can be permantly injured or killed because of one little slip up of a safety rule. Don't be Sorry-be safe! Leashed well mannered or small dogs in your hand can be tolerated as long as they don't disturb the horses or the people around the horses. If I had one complaint I would tell them to remove the dog. This happened at a horse show where a dog was tied to an arena fence and was disrupting the class (and was also unattended). That dog should haven ever been brought near the arena. It cause some folks to place lower in the class simply because the horses were acting bad toward the dog and/or avoiding the fence (points off) at the area. These rules are fair, and are for everyone so that the barn is a safe place for horse people to gather and ride and is built for the comfort of the horses. I am surprised though that a "NO SMOKING" rule was not posted.
