A trick I learned when cuting plywood or something with a veneer is to tape over the cut with masking tape on the good side. Then just cut the wood as you normally would. This will prevent tearout and will produce a nice clean cut. Also, make sure you are using the right blade (ask somone at Home Depot) and that the blade is sharp and in good condition. A melamine blade has something like 50 teeth and produces a very fine cut, whereas a cross-cut blade has something like 24 teeth and produces a very rough cut. The more teeth, the finer the cut.
