Depends on the saw you use. With a circular saw or jigsaw you will get
chipping on the top surface ...


You can get jigsaw blades that cut on the down stroke not the up so you
can have the good side up and not get chipping. These blades are sold as
worktop or laminate blades. They worked, with no chipping, on Homebase's
cheapo white worktop that became our interior window ledges the other
week.
