Default laminate counter top

I wish to glue laminate onto a solid piece of pine and finish the edge with a ogee bit. Will the router bit cut the laminate to shape or do I have to router the edge of pine first and then very carefully glue the laminate on it and file the edges?

Hi lyoncub

The ogee bit will do the job,, but you will need to lay the laminate a bit shy of the edges,,,that's to say keep it back from the edge, laminate likes to snap off the edges if you have to much hanging over the cut...

take 2 passes to get the job done a bit of masking tape will help hold the laminate in place and give you a nice clean cut..
