depends how thick it is.....if it is a thick board, NO WAY!!! Tried it for 5 minutes and didnt get anywhere. If its thin maybe, but do u have a dremel tool or something?

I used Dremel to do a rough cut and then a bench grinder to get a smooth edge and shape. Saws were useless and Jigsaws chipped it (depends on the blade you use of course)
