I had some plywood sheet cut to size in B&Q a couple of years ago and
the cut edges were quite splintery and ragged - a not very sharp blade,
I think and the operator almost said as much. It didn't matter a toss
in my application.

However, now I need some 12mm ply sheets cut where the quality of the
cut edge does matter. What should I reasonably expect? Do these places
usually make good quality cuts?

If they set the blade so that it only just gets through the wood it will
attack the surface at an angle and that greatly reduces splintering.
