I had in mind something like this. You'll have to excuse me as my 
photography skills are only slightly better than my 3D modelling skills 
(which are totally nonexistent.) Imagine the pice of cardboard I hold in my 
hand here is roughly the size of the piece of cardboard I'm holding in my 
hand—maybe a little bigger, the inside edges will need to be slightly more 
than 2" to cut 2" polyiso board. Also imagine the blade is around double 
the size of the one I'm actually using in the picture, whatever the size 
snap-off blade you'd usually use to cut polyiso board would be.

Also imagine there are two slots in the right-angle, one to set the blade 
to 30º and one to 60º. All you do is print one of these in your 3D printer, 
insert a blade, then pull it down the edge of your panel (as I'm 
illustrating on the edge of the table in the last photo there, don't tell 
the landlord.)

You've just cut a perfectly beveled edge with almost no effort and no tools 
aside from a simple 3D-printed part and the blade you were going to use 
anyway.

Can anyone who knows what they're doing model this and throw it up on 
Thingverse? Extra points for taking account of the non-90º angle at the 
point of the blade where it's seated and getting the correctly angled slots 
for doing 30º and 60º cuts into 1", 1.5" and 2.0" board.

Cheers, Robert.
