   *Hi Markm123,If it's not installed, you can cut it with a finishing carbide blade on a skill saw using a guide by cutting it face down.If it's installed and you want to do an end cut, you can do it with a good jigsaw with a reverse tooth blade to minimize chipping.Either way, it's a risky process. sorry I can't help any more than thisGabe

   *ditto Gabe. If cutting face up it helps minimize chipping if you place a layer of duct tape down the center of the cut line...

   *Ditto Gabe and Doug, but in addition to their method I usually make my cut slightly off the line, then go back with a belt sander and sand to the line. This especially holds true when you get to the backsplash.

   *The methods mentioned above are correct. When I worked at Home Depot, I was in kitchen & bath. The sales rep from their laminate vendor (I think it was VT Industries) reccomended exactly what Gabe said.Sean
