Thank you for all your suggestions.

    I also did some digging and found out the "best" way to cut it is
    using a carbide tipped saw for metal (not wood). This advise was
    given to me by people that deal with Ti all the time and cut the
    sculptural crystalline, metallic, and satin-matte titanium that I
    use. 

    I did however try the diamond blade which worked fine. It was hard
    to tell if it was slower than other blades since I have no
    comparison, but it seemed to go fairly quickly. My biggest challenge
    now is fitting the titanium under the clearance of the blade guides
    and the guiding plate. If anyone is interested in seeing the type of
    titanium I am working with stop by my site. It's really different,
    very sparkly and fun to work with. 

Thanks again,
Holly
