What thickness is the veneer you will be cutting? Only problem I see with that is that vinyl is a very thin material plus you are only cutting through the actual vinyl not the backing sheet, if you are talking about cutting through veneer you will also need some sort of sacrificial material underneath so you don't cut into the bed or blunt the blade to quickly.
Might also find a 60 degree blade will cut better than a 45 degree as these are what are used to cut thicker materials using sign plotters.

Hi M8
I think i would be inclined to make the spring loaded hold down clamp(if you have the facilities) and use the smallest rotary cutter. I was looking on e-bay for a little jobby i want to do and veneers seem to be about
0.5mm thick, i usually make mine 3mm. You would as mentioned need to lay it on MDF sheet as described, not sure how thin you can get MDF but i used 9mm to skin some Bi-Fold doors i made a month or so ago.
