    Cut fiber cement siding faster — with minimal dust.

    The Malco TSF1 TurboShear® Fiber Cement Siding Shear attaches directly to your corded or cordless drill to deliver fast, clean cuts in fiber cement siding up to 5/16″ thick. Designed for one-hand operation, this lightweight shear leaves your other hand free to steady material when cutting on scaffolding or a workbench.

    A wide skid plate stabilizes the cutting head for smooth, accurate straight cuts, precise arcs, and detailed trimming. The 360° rotating head allows you to position the shear for optimal clearance and material flow, making it ideal for window and door arches.

    Unlike abrasive cutting methods, the TSF1 produces minimal dust, helping keep the jobsite cleaner and safer. The long-wearing blade and skid plate are easily replaceable, and one set typically lasts an average of 30 residential siding projects.

    The patented telescoping drill clamp adjusts to fit both large and small drill housings, including compact impact drivers. Optional spacers store on the clamp for convenience.

Malco TurboShear TSF1 Drill-Powered Fiber Cement Cutting Shear Attachment

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the TSF1 designed to cut?

The TSF1 is specifically designed for cutting fiber cement siding boards up to 5/16″ thick, including popular brands like Hardie® Board.

Does it create a lot of dust?

No. Unlike abrasive blades or grinders, the TurboShear uses a shearing action that produces minimal airborne dust, helping maintain a cleaner and safer jobsite.

Will it cut curves?

Yes. The rotating head and stable skid plate allow for precise curved cuts, including arches around windows and doors.

What drill do I need?

The TSF1 requires:

Minimum 1/4″ chuck
Minimum 14.4V cordless drill or 7 amp corded drill

Most modern contractor-grade drills are compatible.

How long do blades last?

One blade and skid plate set typically lasts an average of 30 residential siding projects, depending on material and cutting conditions. The blade and skid plate are easily replaceable.

What’s the difference between the TSF1 and TSF2 TurboShears?

Both tools are designed for fiber cement applications, but they are built for different material thicknesses.

  • TSF1 is optimized for cutting 5/16″ (8 mm) fiber cement siding plank. It is ideal for siding crews cutting Hardie® board and similar exterior siding products.
  • TSF2 is designed for heavier material and is rated to cut 1/2″ (13 mm) fiber cement backer board, such as HardieBacker® or Durock®. It can also cut 5/16″ siding, but its primary purpose is thicker backer board material.

If you are primarily cutting siding plank, choose TSF1.
If you are cutting 1/2″ backer board for tile or interior applications, choose TSF2.
