I was just in same position. I practiced on a piece that was chipped pretty good. The first cut I knew the score was inconsistant and even tapping it from underneath you could see it was going to wander. Second time I really focused one smoothe ven pressure through the entire length, and it just about fell apart at the score as I was picking it up, and the cut was REALLY nice and square. It's definitely not the same animal as 1/4", but just focus on a nice smooth even pressure through the score and it's just as easy. fwiw, I lubed the wheel with WD40.
