Default How best to cut a piece of melamine shelving so it doesn't chip?

I don't recall ever cutting melamine, so I have a question, also.
Would sawing it proud, then finishing the edges with a straight bit/
router produce a better job than using a saw?

Melamine sheet goods will be bonded to something - particle board or MDF
are typical. The raw edges will need some type of finish. There are
heat bonded edging, t-mouldings, or paint finishes. Router bits will
give clean edges.
