Hi Brian

Are you talking siding from a house? Beveled, If I'm not mistaken. You might do well to cut your strip widths and then cut the thickness from the usable side. Table saw would be best if using a carbide blade. It might get a build up around the tips from the paint residue, but that can be washed off with some Oven Cleaner. If you cut from the good side, you may avoid the majority of the paint altogether. What you do hit shouldn't hurt that blade. Good luck!!
