some of these jigsaw blades which should be good for up to 100mm.

Once you put any sideways force on a jigsaw blade it will bend and you
won't get a square cut any more.

Cut by hand using a panel saw?

Or score and snap. Works at 25 mm not tried 75 mm that might be to
thick or require to much force over a too long a distance.

I used an old bread knife - works well.

The best are those with actual serrations, and a mix of serration pitches: f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m f f f f m IYSWIM

The more modern wavy edge ones are less good for this.

I've found that a Stanley floorboard saw is good for fine-ish work. My
backsaw was to limited for the cuts and the Stanley is finer and thin but
not much kerf.
