I need to cut a piece of either Hardibacker / Cement Board / Durock into a 30 inch circle... Has anybody had any experience cutting this material either with a power jigsaw, or Sawzall with a course blade? Looking for suggestions, ideas on how to accomplish this.

cement board is difficult to cut by any means - a sawz-all blade with silicon carbide chips on it will do the trick. -
I would like to add to HayZee's reply. When using power tools to cut
Hardibacker or Durarock backer board you should use a dust mask
because of the silica used in the manufacturing process. Eye protection
is a must also.Comment

my two cents is .. if it is 1/4 inch cut it with a shop knife and punch it out w/ a hammer. at least that is what i did.Comment

What's the actual right way to clean hardwood floors? I don't think I am getting them clean and am worried that if I use anything strong I will ruin them....
