why so expensive?:

This thing works ok. It is hard to believe it reduces the amount of dust created, as dust is blowing out of the back of the saw as if that were purpose of the operation.

Hitachi 10-in Hardi-Blade:

Thousands and thousands of shingles, each shingle 10 7/8" long, so as to get... more info

Hardi-Blade:

Excellent product. I had tried a standard carbide blade when I started my siding project. In no time at all, it was burning on the cuts. Don't waste your time and money on a regular carbide blade. This blade was money well spent.
