When cutting Versetta Stone Siding, it is recommended to use a circular saw, hand grinder or a chop saw with a 10” diamond segmented blade.  A wet saw may be used, but any slurry on the face of the siding panel must be rinsed off immediately to avoid staining.  Always wear a respirator (dust mask), safety glasses and protective gloves when cutting the Stone Siding.  It is also recommended to wear long sleeve shirts and long pants for protection.
