   They're not bad for cutting foam, but would likely be very slow going cutting vinyl siding.  You'd do better (faster and with a neater edge) with a hand saw.

   cutting vinyl siding

   Cutting vinytl siding with a foam cutter is not a good idea due to the fumes given off by vinyl siding that is burnt during the process.  I personally use a thin curf plywood blade in a circular saw but put in backwards.  You get clean cuts with no color distortion that you get trying to cut vinyl siding with a foam cutter.

   Everyone I know uses a slide compound saw. You can stack a half dozen pieces and cut all at once for areas between windows, etc. On long runs, the cut end always is covered by a factory end. The saw is great for corners, J channels and other trim. No special blade needed.

   I use a Van Mark Trim-A-Table. It is made for cutting siding, pivots to a 3/12 pitch. Good clean cuts, saves a ton of time.
