The biggest problem with doing this is that the piece has to be supported to have clearance for the blade underneath. You need to support it evenly across both the finished piece and waste sections, so that they stay flat relative to each other as you make the cuts.

If you don't do this, then the unsupported secion will sag as it's being cut loose, which results in binding the saw blade and then all manner of unpleasant things tend to follow.

do not think that you have to do it in one continuous cut, remove managable sections
