May have found an easy way to laminate wood.
rhd:
I pre-laminated plywood with formica then cut it with a circular saw and it worked fine. Just be sure to use a saw blase with lots of teeth. I think my blade was called a "laminate and finish blade". Just be sure to use some sort of guide to get a straight cut and have the laminate on the top side of the wood when you cut.

I've cut laminate countertops with a jig saw, just purchase a "laminate cutting blade". Only a few bucks. Also, whichever saw you decide to use make sure you duct tape the whole "bed" of the saw, especially if it's an older saw. The bed can scratch the laminate pretty easily. The particles of wood and laminate that get caught between the bed and the surface can also be pretty abrasive.

never used either of those blades. I will have to look i nto that.
