Reply to "Cutting out windows and doors in wooden sheet (clapboard siding)"

Cut from each corner towards the middle of each side (total of 8 cut per window). This will keep the corners crisp. If you draw the knife from one corner all the way to the opposite corner, it is likely that the body of the blade will cut into and beyond the corner on the surface before the tip reaches the corner on the backside. Excel hobby blades. If you hear a "tick" get a new blade as the tip just broke off. Pay attention to the grain in the wood and don't try to cut through in one draw. Like any cutting action, let the tool do the work without too much force.
