[Shop-talk] No shop this weekend, kitchen remodel instead

I covered the bottom of my jigsaw with painters masking tape to prevent 
scratching the new counter top. Depending on the size or placement of 
the sink, you may have a little difficulty cutting the backside of the 
sink's opening as the backsplash may foul the saw.  I had to use a 
sawzall with a long blade to cut the back for that reason.  A tiny bit 
of chipping may result even if you're careful. Hopefully the sink's lip 
will cover it.

Oh, if you have to put a end cap on a trimmed edge, you might want to 
practice with the laminate trimmer first before attempting to trim the 
laminate on your new counter. Just saying...
