How best to cut a piece of melamine shelving so it doesn't chip?
As somebody already mentioned:
Make the cut with the best you got and then trim it with a router.
A Freud 96 tooth blade does a pretty fair job on melamine.

or

Note that one blade does good on a single side and the other does
"both" sides..... If you can get one edge good, you are making real
progress with melamine.
This is cheaper than the Festool options...

I don't know if I have enough, ah, GOOMPA (as my grandmother would have said) to ask the wife if I can buy one a Festool anything just to make a few melamine cuts...but it may be worth a try. What the heck, I am too old to be raising a new kid and it should only hurt for a somewhat short time.
