Sorry, bud, but they aren't available in Cuba - yet.

I'd go for a jigsaw, minimal or zero orbit, very fine blade running to a pencil libne - the exact blade type depends on the material thickness and type. This site might help you decide - or you could respond here. To caulk in professionally afterwards get yourself some of these. Screwfix used to do a similar set called a "Fugenboy", but they seem to have dropped it. Alsi LIDL sells a similar set from time to time.

Usually some large timbers in the frame so you are going to need hand saw, the jigsaw may not be up to it, a circular saw would be better.

dependent on how its constructed an if the cut edge will be exposed

mask along the line screw a 2x1" baton to waste side on the line this will both help to keep it rigid and give a strait edge to cut against
use a hand saw at a fairly shallow angle this will be less likely to splinter

or a jigsaw maybe with a metal blade to reduce chipping dependent on material and construction again

Just use an Axe and practice making your excuses.
