I've used the similar but much bigger heavier paper cutter at work to cut FR4 when the receptionist is not nearby. It works fine and does leave both pieces flat, fiberglass is very resilient, but it can't be doing any good for the blade, I have to really slam it down.

Good to know the HF cutters work ok, I wonder how well they'll hold up.
