Default Jigsaw & straight cutting in melamine

I would guess that since the melamine is particle board, the blade is
steering around the chunks making it wander. Jigsaw blades can wander
sometimes anyway even in good materials. My advice is to switch to a
circular saw, it will cut straight and you at least have some chance of
minimizing chipout.
