Cutting Formica

OK - we have the new laminate. We have the router bit for trimming. Now, we need some help as this is a new venture. Now, what do we use to make the "rough" cuts, so the pieces we deal with are somewhat larger than the finished size we will need, prior to gluing and trimming? Especially with the cutting boards which have the laminate protruding past the wood base it sits on? Do we use a circular saw? Scroll saw? From which side do you initiate the cut to prevent splintering of the "up" side?
