I use a cutter that looks like a milling cutter.  It cuts so clean 
that the edges of the boards I cut yestarday are identicle to the 
factory edge.

I need to cut odd shapes in boards and notches for things like 
elongated holes for power connectors or reliefs for getting around 
mounting holes or standoffs.

On some projects, you can use a Vee shaped tool and etch a grouve, 
then snap the board on the grouve.
