Whenever I've made cuts in plastic (like PVC pipe) I turned the blade
around backwards. Got the cleanest cut you could imagine, with no
chipping.
Never tried it in metal, but if you had a scrap you could test, I'd
find it interesting... <G>
If you try this: Be sure to clamp or restrain your workpiece
carefully. I can think of all sorts of ways for it to go wrong, and I
have the fused finger bones to show for it.
