Default Cutting cultured marble thresholds

Hi,
I am doing a project where I am cutting some 6 x 3/4 cultured
marble threshold like this stuff

http://www.thorntontile.com/p2.htm#Sizes

What is the best way to cut them? I dug around a bit and it seems
like I can cut them with a chop saw with a masonary blade. How does
this leave the edges? does it melt them or leave a nice clean cut?

Would I be better off using a tile wet saw?

Thanks in advance!

it'd be better with a tile saw. you'd get a virtually chip free and dust
free cut. if you have only 1 or a few, take them to home dept and they'll do
the cuts for $.25/each.
