Remove the excess laminate with a router and a flushcutting bit. At edges where the router cannot reach, trim the excess laminate with a file. The countertop is now ready for the final trimming with a bevel-cutting bit.
Finish-trim the edges with a router and a 15° bevel-cutting bit. Set the bit depth so that the bevel edge is cut only on the top laminate layer. The bit should not cut into the vertical edge surface.
TIP
File all the edges smooth. Use downward file strokes to avoid chipping the laminate.
Cut 11⁄4"-wide strips of 1⁄4" plywood to form an overhanging scribing strip for the backsplash. Attach it to the top and sides of the backsplash substrate with glue and wallboard screws. Cut laminate pieces and apply to the exposed sides, top, and front of the backsplash. Trim each piece as it is applied.
