Homebrew PCBs

Probably NOT what you are thinking of but I use this -
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item.cfm?ItemNumber=G4011

It can do 30" wide PCBs!  Though I typically use it for 4-6" wide
stuff. :)  It does a nice clean job on 062 FR4 stuff.  However, it
trashes phenolic (I'm not sure phenolic is actually shearable so it's
probably not the fault of the machine).  I love this machine because
its a roller and a brake as well.  I can make metal boxes pretty
easily and have made some nice copper plant water pans for my wife (to
significantly increase the WAF of the tool - not a small consideration).

They have a 12" version for $199 that would probably be more
appropriate for PCB work.

They also have several shears that are much cheaper and would probably
work ok.

I'd guess that harbor freight would carry something similar.
