  A circular saw will always give the best and neatest cut in a straight line. If you are cutting shapes, a suitable blade in a jigsaw or bandsaw will do; usually a fine tooth blade.

  Solid.

  Thanks Big G, figured that would be the best option—beats using snips. Wasn’t sure if there was way to score and snap.
