This is a really good info.

Right now I am using an utility knife to score both sides and snap it:

But it requires a lot of effort and the cut is not very clean. If the 
board has to be cut on all the sides it's a nightmare.

I wanted to get one of these, glass cutter:

If it is enough to pass it a couple of times to score the copper layer, 
it could be a good and cheap solution. Anybody has experience with a 
tool like that?

Otherwise the wet saw is a great idea. On top of that... yes, I need to 
cut tiles from time to time :) for my oven (I use saltillo tiles to cook 
pizza)

bye!
