  You've left out dremel tool cut off wheels, and the rotary PCB routers 
that are used for cutouts.  Both can do quite decently for small 
quantities.  Needs a mechanical system to move the board vs the bit for 
best results, drawer rails etc work well and are cheap..  Get some clear 
bags from Compusa and put your boards and the bits inside the bag, and 
everything is contained, it is very nice to not have to spend time 
cleaning up dust.  I'd take it over having to deal with what a saw would 
put out any day..
