I'm using a regular jig saw upside down. I lock its handle with a vise and 
turn it on. My saw has an ON lock, but you could use a piece of wire to keep 
it on without you having to keep pressing it, then I just slide the pcb to 
make the cut, similar to operating a band saw. I'm using a medium steel 
blade, cuts are perfect.
