I use a flat bastard file to clean up the edges of mine.

Makes them perfectly smooth and cuts fast too. Maybe a little too fast if you don't watch out! (Note, I've only done this for FR4, might be a bit risky for the other types, not sure)

Makes a lot of dust, so keep your mask and vacuum handy...
