Portaband is a great tool and will certainly do the job. The hardest part of using it is keeping it cutting straight. It wanders very easily and the blade flexes to continue in the wrong direction. Best advice would be to start cutting very carefully and don't put much pressure on it. When cutting flat you simply rest the guard arm on the piece and let the weight of the tool push through it. If you push on it the blade will flex and it will wander badly. I would have a nice grinder available and cut the first one well outside the mark for safety and see how it goes. Good luck.
