Evan - I bit the bullet a couple of years ago and bought a hobby shear brake 
for cutting PCBs....little pricey solution unless you have routine need for 
doing so but I found it to be the best (for me) method of getting nice clean, 
straight cuts for "Manhattan" style construction projects.  Got mine from 
MicroMark but several sellers have similar type tools.
