Thank you for all the ideas.

I guess I ought to have mentioned that I also do not have access to
- a tile saw
- a band saw, or
- a drill press

Too bad, a router bit on a drill press sounds like a neat trick. Or better yet, a router in a router mounted in a router table. No, unfortunately, I don't have access to a router either.

Maybe I ought to just buy a pair of the Wiss 10" aviation shears. It would be easier to operate since it doesn't need power, and doesn't require me to purchase another cutting blade. Where would I go to get such a tool? If you find a hosted picture of this tool, please post it. Benjamin and Roland, thank you for your advice regarding this tool. It ought to work, if I don't want to make any round edges on my PCB. (I happened to be looking for switches in Radio Shack yesterday, and saw a package of round PCB material. Yes, circular. Amazing.)
