Now I see what you're describing. I'll give it a try and post my
results.

Thanks.

All you want to do is have the cut open up so you can make successive cuts
without having the cut edges put drag on the blade. This jig works to get
you nice straight repetitive cuts. When cutting conveyor belt, you can do
it by just bending it over a bench edge and using a piece of flat bar or
angle clamped to the work bench, and an assistant bending the cutoff side.
Just enough to open the cut. Don't try to cut through all in one slice,
take your time and don't cut any major arteries, and use a sharp new blade.

Good luck.
