I would *HIGHLY* recommend finding tungsten carbide blades. I ended up
doing all my cuts using a jigsaw with these special tungsten carbide
grit covered jig saw blades. I never found them at either lowes or home
depot. i did find them at my local smaller ace hardware store for about
$5, i think. they are good for almost any material. i bought 2, in case
one breaks. also, i use one for a while and let it cool down while i use
the other. i haven't noticed any wear at all.

i can't find it on acehardware.com, hmmm. however, the one i used is
similar to this link below. you can click on the image to enlarge it.
mine has a thinner blade, to allow for tighter corners.

Yup, I used those and I did find them at Home Depot made by Bosch and also a no-name brand. I have a picture of the packages somewhere but I have not updated the web page in a while. Designed for wall tile and fiberglass.
