2) The other straight cuts can be done with a circular saw - always cut with
the worktop laminate side down, with the post-formed edge at the front.

Congratulations on the project. It is satisfying!

Re circ cutting, I find putting a piece of hardboard or scrap wood
against the laminate side greatly reduces the chance of chipping. With
a circ cutting laminate, although the bulk of the forces push upwards,
the blade does still go down through the gap and can still chip if
youre unlucky, or not careful.
