Hi

I need to trim the plinths that go under our kitchen units as they wont fit
with the new tiles in place.

With the plinths being the usual chipboard with a thin laminate coating, I
am trying to avoid chipping the laminate on the front edge.

Can anyone advise the best method ? If I had any spare, Id experiment myself
!

Im wondering whether cutting with the front side up or back side up is
better and whether it is preferable to use a hand saw rather than a jig saw
or table saw to minimise chipping ?

Use a table saw with the front side up. If you trim the top edge it
probably won't be very visible anyway.
