Have you tried the backward-feed scoring cut charlie b described in
his reply? In my experience, the results are very good.

If you mean high pressure laminate like Arborite or Formica, the same
principle applies. I cut oversize on table saw, glue it on & then trim
it using a bearing guided straight bit on the router.

I think this is standard operating procedure, though I get no chip-out
when cutting high pressure laminate on a table saw.
