I'm getting ready to tackle the last big job in my kitchen renovations -
fitting laminate worktops.
I'm hiring a jig and router for next weekend, and I'm fairly confident I
can
make a good job of it. I do still have a couple of questions that I'm
sure
you guys can help with :-)

I had the same worries but on the advice here bought a very good jigsaw
(Bosch) with down-cutting blades. Change these the moment the work seems
to be getting difficult. With the first sink the (crap B&Q) blades were
blunting in only a couple of feet but some others from a woodworking place
lasted a good two metres before I decided to replace them. They could have
been used longer I'm sure but blades are cheap - worktops aren't.
