Hello,

A carbide tipped scoring tool is made for that, works great and much less dust than cutting with a power tool and costs about $10. Lowes or Home Depot should have them.

I've used both the carbide scoring tool and an angle grinder. If your not cutting too much then the carbide scoring tool works great, but if cutting a lot of boards then your hands can get tired (the scoring tool I used didn't have a very large handle). The angle grinder created alot of dust, so if you use one, or any power tools, make sure to wear a mask. Hope this helps.
Hitachi hardiboard blade from Amazon too.
This is an outdoor project on a windy day. I've never seen such a cloud of dust.

Thanks for all the help.
I wound up using the carbide scoring tool. It worked pretty well. I only trashed one board when it didn't snap cleanly along the score.
I did use a fortified thinset mortar and fiberglass seam tape where the boards met. Probably a little overkill, but I didn't want to wind up pulling it out.

The contractor and crew that built my new house used a Marathon-brand blade in skillsaws. Be sure to wear a dust mask.
