cutting kitchen worktops

evening all.

i need to cut a standard wood chip work top. whats the best tool to use (i've tried jigs but not a good finish). also, i need to match in with an existing cut for a corner (its a straight corner but has a small curve to the end - approx 1" from the front edge). i'm really sorry that this is vague but it's quite hard to describe.

your thoughts please!

many thanks in advance
