I just cut some today on a table saw. Really sharp blade and I went slow enough that the blade didn't slow down at all. Fairly good edge. Don't forget your face-shield :scared
I know that some guys have had luck 'scoring' it with a razor knife and then flexing it back and forth to break it at the line.
Assuming you have a tiny bit extra, try either of these and see how it goes.
Good luck,
Todd
