There are nine blades that can be used for a circular saw. Ripping, crosscutting, combination, plywood, hollow ground, dado, thin kerf, abrasive, and diamond are all blades that can be used to cut wood, glass, steel, and concrete.

There really isn't a suitable saw blade for cutting siding. I often do it, and in my opinion the best way is fitting a thin cutting disc in an angle grinder. I use a 5" composite steel cutting disc about a millimetre thick. Makes a lovely clean cut.
