Thanks for the tips. I have a scoring knife I bought to cut some Hardy Backer. One other question: I need to have a finished piece of formica which will be about 1 1/4 inches wider than the wood base...these are for the sink covers. How do I go about making a finished cut to the formica without having an "edge" for the router bushing to follow? I will probably just adhere the new formica to the old, after roughing up the old formica first of course. Could I use the old formica edge as my bushing guide by setting the router bit at it's shallowing depth? It seems awfully thin for the bushing to follow though. Anyway, thanks for your input and suggestions.
