Does anyone have any hints or tips for cutting sink-sized holes out of a big sheet of loose laminate?

I've got those cut outs, too. I also have a box labeled "Pieces of string too short to save".

A Rotozip or Dremel tool will rough cut your laminate. A really, really fine tooth sabre saw blade might work, but I've never tried that.
