According to the manufacture specs:

Panels may be cut with a guillotine, tin snips or circular saw with metal cutting blade. A portable brake press or hand bender is used to bend the cut edge of the panel for hips, ridges and valleys.

Re: Stone Coated Metal Roof Tile

I have the tools for the job! Used to install stone coated metal panels for Sierra tile, similar to Decra. Have not done it for awhile but still have tools for job. I am located in southern California.
