You think it's that easy to cut it such that you wouldn't be able to
see screwed up edges? You're braver than I am. I know I wouldn't be
able to cut an edge anywhere near as cleanly as what I saw on my
parents table. It was flawless.

1. The laminate is cut over size

2. It is applied to the substrate

3. The excess is trimmed with a router bit that has a bearing so that it
follows the edge and trims the laminate flush to it. Flawlessly.

If your table is wood - real and solid wood - forget laminate.
