We are having our kitchen countertops replaced and I am planning on keeping the laminate counter tops and maybe using some for 'shop furniture.' This laminate looks like it is attached to 3/4 particleboard.

I want to be able to cut off some of the corners and the backsplash on these countertops. I am planning on using my circular saw. What blade do I use?

Thanks!

I've always had good luck with Freud blades.
Here are three good Freud blade choices:

I use a 40 tooth blade. Cut the counter top with it upside down. No chip out that way.
