I've had great luck using a 7 and 1/4 in worm drive saw with a diamond
saw blade

<http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/accessory_category_detail.asp?categoryID=385>,

like a hot knife in butter.

Dust will be a factor, have buddy hold a vaccum close to the cut
sucking up the dust as it's created.

Good luck...
