Caveat: use a 40T or better saw blade

Another method that works seems a little weird but does the same
thing as a scoring blade on a higher end tables saw. Set your saw
blade a little over 1/32nd of an inch above the table top. Feed the
material from the back towards the front of the saw table, making
a very light scoring cut through the top kayer of the melamine/
high pressure laminate. Turn off the saw, raise the blade to your
cutting height and feed the stock to the blade from the front
like normal.

SORRY! This SHOULD NOT be done on thin stuff like formica. It
does work on 1/2" and 3/4" formica faced stuff and melamine.
Read what I expected to read rather than what was actually
there. Another Thinko (mental equivalent of a typo).
