The best things I have found for PCB cutting involve a shearing cut, rather than stock removal, like a blade. I was using my bandsaw and got great cuts without stressing the board but it dulled the blade very fast. You could try a scroll saw for very small boards since the blades are cheap. The aviation snips can curl the board. PCB cutters are a shearing blade with lots of board support around it. I should try my throatless metal shear... If you set up a vacuum and wear an air filter, abrasives do a great job trimming and rounding corners. Don't breathe the dust though. It is very controlled board removal and 1x42 belts are cheap.
