always, and i mean always cut the panel, with the best side facing against the blade direction, (basically with the good face down) as this allows the teeth to come up to and cut through the face material rather than coming out from behind it, pushing it forward and splintering the edge...
i have tried on scrap laminate and the usual Howdens special of white shrunk to fit plastic faced boards, and even used a well past best 190MM x 24teeth circ saw blade, and providing the face was against the direction of the teeth (upside down for circ saws 0R on top if using a bench saw/table saw) you get a better cut..
you just need to cut through the face materials first...
the use of the BLUE masking tape on the cutting line helps also, why the blue works better i ain't gopt a clue, but it must be due to the non standrd adhesive...
