The problem with using a jigsaw on laminate is, the blade moves both up and down. On the up stroke it's pulling on the edge of the laminate and tends to create little micro chips in the cut edge. If you use a jigsaw ,tape the laminate first with masking tape and draw your cut line onthe tape. I find ,using a Skill-saw and cutting from the back produces the cleanest edge because the teeth are rotating into the cut and not out of it. Using a table saw there is a small 4" blade that protrudes above the table about 1/16" of an inch rotating in the opposite direction of the main blade that scores the laminate before the cut, that creates a near perfect cut.
