How can you cut the cupper board?

[ahmad_abdulghany]

I sometimes make small sized PCBs with (or without) detailed shapes.. How can I cut that cupper board??
I was cutting them using a manual archet, but it gave bad results and difficult to use,

Does anyone has another idea that can be easily used to cut them?
Thanks,
Ahmad,

Cut PCB to right shape using guillotine.
Here is an example:

Thanks for help,
But i don't have guillotine to use it, and it's a bit expensive solution..

Anyother suggestion?

Try Compound Action Snips; here is one example:

Hi,
if thi is Fr4 you can use the regular scissors, actually not for the office use, must be more strong, but i long time use the regular one, for sewing use.

Somoeone told me to make it with ordinary cutter (as in photo below)

Hi,
yes this is decision, just you must be carrefull, some time the cutter going out from road, and can damage the foil. I can sugest mm .... for plastic material, lexan, pvc etc, has a special profil of cutter, i don't know what is the name.
something like this :
