The easiest way is to try to saw off the unnecessary strip first, and then you will see how it turns out. The blade must not be blunt. First make a 0.5 – 1mm kerf with a reverse travel of the saw
Or you can even scratch the laminate along the kerf with the cutter, then you are guaranteed that there will be no splinters ... The only thing left is to hit the "rut" with the disk...
The disk should protrude beyond the workpiece by about half a tooth in depth.
In my experience, with a good blade chipping is either non-existent or negligible, without any additional conditions.
