In his Marquetry class many years ago Paul Schurch demonstrated two approaches, and I've used both.
To get clean edges when hand cutting doesn't help, he used a Festool saw and track, with the veneer on a sacrificial piece of MDF. Can't remember a detail as to which blade type, seems like he installed the blade backwards? Maybe someone else has better memory. I've just used I think a high ATB blade installed normally and gotten great results.
To get as good an edge as possible, I align the edges, trap with a narrow overhang between two pieces of 3/4" MDF, and then shoot with a good #8 jointer plane taking multiple light cuts (I have the Lie Nielsen).
