It will chip out more but the chip out will be on the bottom. The

I'll stick with the shallower cut then.


CW needs a new blade with more than 3 teeth left on it. Don't listen
to him.

A layer of masking tape on both sides will keep chipping to a minimum.
Peel the freshly-cut-in-half tape off -toward- the cut to keep from
pulling chips up. Now seal that bottom WELL so it can't absorb water!
