I think you may be onto something here. Those saws cut fairly slow but
that should not be a problem. The blade is more abrasive than saw-toothed
- that means that it turns the PC material into dust rather than chips like
my carbide toothed saws. But because they cut wet, there is little chance
the dust will escape into the air.
I hope someone tries it and lets us know if and how well it works!
