Re: Vinyl Siding Cutter

Gillotines are used for cutting metal siding. Vinyl is cut with a saw. You can make your own cutting stand or buy a radial arm saw.

The make them for vinyl. Expensive though, bout $300 + you change out the cutting blade depending on what profile siding you are using. Why someone would actually want one of these is beyond me.
