Not really, i sawed it in the past and it didn't damage the protective  
coating much at the edges.

These days i prefer using a lever shear to cut PCBs, the glass kills most  
sawblades too fast, although a tile blade in a jigsaw worked ok. A small  
circular saw with a carbide blade produces the best edge, but is also much  
dust and noise. Some people apparently use tile saws with diamont blades  
that cut wet.
