Subject: cutting SMALL! PCB's

I am going to get started on a new project that requires very small
PCB's. As the subject states - what's the best method of cutting PCB's
to the size listed here - (3" x .1"). These will be used in a non-
electronic project.
I will be using single sided PCB's at .062" thick.
I am thinking of using one of those large office paper cutters (the
ones that look like they have a 3 foot lawn mower blade as a cutter!)
as the board will be less than 2mm thick.
I understand that PCB's can dull blades quickly, but this cutter is one
that has been deemed obsolete.
Any thoughts? I read the posts about using scroll saws, routers, etc.
I was thinking that as my boards would be very thin, my method would
work. The only catch would be that I would need very straight cuts, no
wandering edges.
