Type of saw is less important than type of blade you will use on that saw, I have also used a chop saw  - More important; use a fine tooth blade - AND you might want to bind the roll with several winds of kraft paper at the cut point to avoid any shredding as the cut begins and ends -  keep in mind that this is not a great idea to start with  and you may have some issues with loose paper fibers from the cut edge
