Cutting live rock with a hack saw?

Anyone tried this before? I am thinking about cutting some of my live rock in half, so that a smooth surface is created which could then form a nice stable base, or maybe glue nicely to a back wall or overflow. I thought this might be a fun way to get more creative with the aquascaping, while at the same time keeping the structure open and off the sand bed, preventing dead spots.
I am thinking of using a hack saw and a small plastic mitre box. Place the rock in the box, line up the cut, and saw away. One issue off the top of my head is that if the rock is bigger than the reach of the hack saw, but I figure if I go from both sides it should work.
What do you guys think?
