Where I used to work they used a metal shear like you cut a sheet of steel with by stepping on a pedal. They used to put the boards in an oven first maybe 150 degrees I don’t remember but it made them cut better without breaking

I use a brake I purchased at Harbor Freight for about $30.   Just score the copper and snap. Safer than a guillotine and many times safer than a table saw.
