what blade would be best for cutting flexible magnetic strips??

I am not sure, my biggest concern would be the magnetic sawdust would stick to lots of metal parts in the saw.
I would think, other than the sawdust problem, a thin regular blade, NO skiptooth would be best.

Not sure how the magnetic strips would slide over the table, you may want to use an auxiliary wood table over the top of the saw

never thought of the metal sawdust. i was planning on sandwiching it between a 2 pieces of BB ply.

Best cut easily with hand held side cutters.
