MagMatrix Perseverance fire-rated structural panel is easy to install, it is simple to cut, drill, shape, and fix. It can be worked in the same way as timber products with no special tools required, and it is also maintenance-friendly. MagMatri Multi-Support SS model for the MgO board works best with carbide tools, resulting in clean square cuts and higher-quality installations. Circular saws, including table saws, are most effective. The boards can be scored and snapped using disposable knives that can cut through the fiberglass mesh from the smooth side. Edges can be routed flush or to create shapes and patterns using carbide cutters. When using saws like the hand electric saw with precision depth adjustment, sheets can be cut directly from the pile without marking the sheet below, resulting in faster, more accurate work.

The cuts are smooth and easy with conventional carbide-tipped circular saw blades and that ordinary bimetal jigsaw and multi­tool blades work fine for cutting around penetrations. And the crew fastened the siding with pneumatic roof nailers, and, it can also be fastened with high-quality screws (conventional black drywall screws sometimes snap off), framing nails, and siding nails. It is better than fiber cement to cut because the dust wasn’t as irritating and the composition is easier on cutting tools. But as with cutting any materials that make dust, all workers should be protected from the dust by using a vacuum, blowers, breeze, or dust masks.
