    Fast, clean cuts in fiber cement backer board — without scoring and snapping.

    The Malco TurboShear® TSF2 Drill-Powered Backer Board Cutting Shear Attachment is engineered specifically for cutting 1/2″ (13 mm) fiber cement backer board quickly and cleanly. Designed to replace messy scoring-and-snapping methods, the TSF2 attaches directly to your corded or cordless drill for controlled, precise cutting with minimal dust.

    The wide skid plate stabilizes the cutting head for smooth straight shearing and precise curved cuts, including window and door arches. In addition to 1/2″ backer board, the TSF2 also cuts 5/16″ (8 mm) fiber cement siding plank.

    A hardened carbon steel blade and durable skid plate provide long service life. The skid plate can be rotated to extend usable life, and both blade and skid plate are easily replaceable on the job.

    The lightweight cast aluminum shear head and patented telescoping drill clamp allow 360° head rotation and secure fitment on large or small drill housings, including compact impact drivers.

Malco TurboShear TSF2 Drill-Powered Backer Board Cutting Shear Attachment

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials will the TSF2 cut?

The TSF2 is rated to cut:

1/2″ (13 mm) James Hardie® backer board
1/2″ (13 mm) Durock® backer board
5/16″ (8 mm) fiber cement siding plank

It is specifically designed for fiber cement applications.

How clean is the cut?

The TSF2 fiber cement series features factory-set clearances for optimal cutting performance. No blade adjustment is required. The shearing action produces clean edges with significantly less dust than scoring-and-snapping methods.

What drill do I need?

The TSF2 requires:

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

Most modern contractor-grade drills are compatible.

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.
