Have you tried the backward-feed scoring cut charlie b described in
his reply? In my experience, the results are very good.
Yes, very good but not perfect. Some very small chip-out on the top.
Even better with Freud's "ultimate melamine saw blade". But, again,
not perfect. Trimming with a router works perfectly though.
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.
Actually, I cut oversize mainly to avoid errors in placing the
laminate over the substrate. So I haven't really looked for chip-out.
But don't make it too large as this can lead to very large chip-outs
(DAMHIKT).
