Can you cut the piece upside down with the circular saw? Use a 40 tooth carbide blade(if its a 7 1/4" saw?) and start with the splash first then the conterThe blow out will be on the underside and it will eliminate chipping. A good 14 or 20 tpi jig saw(I like Bosch) blade is also ok from the top side taped.

To joint them together, try a product call Joint Fastener by Knape and Vogt or Draw Bolts. They are made for jointing P-lam counters together. Don't worry about the seam chipping too much if its a rental? If not, try a little Seam fill at your local cabinet maker's supply house. Like wood putty for P-lam. Clean up with lacquer thinner.


Forget biscits. It will never line up. With the Draw bolts, you can dial it in so close that its perfect.
