: 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!!

Thanks Rehd. It is not beveled. These are trim pieces, 3/4"-1" thick. I know a contractor that does vinyl siding. He was taking the cedar he pulled off of houses to the composting yard to be ground up. Now he calls me to pick it up. He removes the nails even. He's happy to save the disposal fees.
