I use all my standard woodworking tools including my table saw to cut it. I would guess that you would want to use the higher speed. The faster you make the cut, the less it will melt. The longer the plastic is exposed to the hot blade, the more it will melt. The only time I've had any issues with melting while working with it is when I was using my Dewalt roto tool to cut circles or holes using cone type bits. Spade drill bits don't seem to cause any issues with melting for me. Standard drill bits do melt the plastic somewhat and the larger the bit, the more of an issue it is.
