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.


Your question has been answered by MrRumm,the ultimate
sharp,unsplintered,perfect straight cut can be aquired by a router,however
you need a piece of wood clamped to the edge of the chip board to stop the
router shattering the edge piece at the ending of the cut.
