| Woodshop Flunky:
+1 on the file suggestions. I'd be afraid of chipping with any power tools, and a file would make short work of that corner. |

i think I will try using a file and see how that works. I really dont want to crack the laminate. |

One more bit of advice on this. The up and down motion of the file sometimes makes the laminate want to pull away from the substrate underneath. Putting clamps on either side of the area ur working on will help to minimize that. |
| Crazy Cooter:
ALWAYS USE A FILE. It's what kitchen countertop guys use and they deal with this everyday. Forget about any other way. As mentioned, stroke downward as though you're pushing the laminate into the wood so it doesn't chip or lift up. |

thanks guys for all the tips. I really didnt want to wreck all this nice progress. :) I will be going with the file and in the direction of the wood so I dont pull the laminate away from the wood and crack it. |
