I've pulled and replaced countertop (same piece) several times. This

Question is in regard to cutting to length. All cuts are 90 degrees.
Borg does not cut lengths.
I have the reg electric power tool assortment including lame old
clunker circular (), another old clunker jig, 10" table Craftsman
junker & new kick-ass Hitachi 12" compound miter saws as well as a
router. Probably need to get some specific bit(s) and/or blades.
Of course I spoke on the phone with an Orange Borg guy in kitchens.
Sounded pretty confident as to recommendations but then again rats
are pretty confidient on running a maze. Have no idea if Borg guy has
actually run the maze.
I'm sure I'll get several methods as a reply and may take a combo of
them for what I decide to do but lets hear it please.
Is the material you're cutting flat? (No integral backsplash.)
If so rough cut with a circular saw. Then trim to the exact dimension
by placing and clamping a guide on the counter top and then passing
your
router with a 1/4" or 1/2" router bit over the desired edge.

Sorry for not mentioning it does have a backsplash.
