The method I use is to break them.  I don't know why no one else has
discussed this.  Got me worried....

I take a knife and score both sides using a metal ruler as a guide.  I go
about a 1/4 through both sides.  Put it in a vise and snap it off.  It makes
a nice clean cut, but I take some sandpaper to knock off the sharp edges.  I
wouldn't want to do 100's this way, but for 1 and 2s it is fast and easy.
