Kevin, If you are cutting small cross section wood like up to 1 inch square or sheet up to 1 1/2 inch wide, consider getting a mitre box and saw set from the hobby shop or Tower. If you want nice cuts on wider sheet you can get a nice thin detail finish saw, (Stanley 20-331) double sided blade from Home Depot or Lowes. A decent band saw is a real plus if you have room for it. There is of course the tried and true method of cutting sheet using the good old number 11 exacto blade making a series of light repetative cuts....
