I am wondering if anyone knows of anyone who makes a fibre cement blade for a 6-1/2″ circular saw.

    Freud makes a 5" Diablo blade. Why do you need one?

      We picked up a Makita plunge cut track saw for cutting hardie panel. The saw takes a 6.5" blade. But yes we have picked up some of the Diablo 5" blades which have proven sufficient for our purposes. It is helpful that the Makita alows for variable RPMs making the smaller diameter blade less of an issue. Thanks for your reply.
