Default cutting melamine covered chip board

Hi,
I am making some units with the melamine covered chip board you get from B&Q. My
question is, how do you cut it without splintering the edges???

Thanks.


2 more methods:

1. cut the melamine with stanley knife then saw through next to it,
taking care not to chip the scored edge.

2. Put sheet face down onto some scrap hardboard and cut thru the 2 as
one. As long as the hardboard is pressed against the melamine, the
latter wont chip on the side the hb presses onto.

Sawing then planing works sort of, but not really well.
