Hey Guys and Gals,
Having been a teacher in the past, I love sharing info with other folks and in this case, those in model railroading. I've heard many times and have experienced the problem first hand that cutting Homasote with a circular saw creates a mess and can ruin the circular saw blade. I've recently bought the following jigsaw blade....it fits my jigsaw perfectly and cuts through Homasote like a knife through butter, with absolutely no dust or mess. It cuts through Homasote just like it cuts through foam....again without any mess.
So, if you're going to use Homasote like I did on top of my plywood, get some of these blades. I paid $20.00 for the 3-pack.
