Powerful Motor and Innovative Engineering for Reliable Performance
Designed to cut fiber-cement siding up to 5/16-inch thick, this patented tool boasts a smart design and amazing durability. A robust 6.5-amp motor, 1/2-inch spindle gear, and 360-degree swivel head combine with comfortable ergonomics for optimum performance, even on all-day jobs.

Dust-Free Cutting for a Healthy, Worksite
Productivity doesn't just mean getting the job done fast, it also means keeping your workplace safe. All cement-fiber siding contains silica, which is harmless unless large quantities are inhaled as dust. Because the SS404 doesn't produce airborne dust like circular saws do, you'll completely avoid the serious health risks associated with silica.

Long-Lasting, Double-Ended Blades
The SS404 features reversible blades machined from solid steel that provide 20,000 feet of cutting. Because these blades are reversible, they'll last through 20 houses' worth of siding jobs--twice as long as single-ended blades and 45 times as long as circular-saw blades.

This compact tool is not only versatile, but it's also cost-effective, boasting an average blade cost of just three dollars per house.
