When cutting laminated panels, which direction should the finish side face?

Facing away from cutting edge of the tool
Facing the cutting edge of the tool
Perpendicular to the cutting edge
Parallel to the cutting edge

The correct answer is: Facing away from cutting edge of the tool

The correct approach when cutting laminated panels is to have the finish side face away from the cutting edge of the tool. This positioning ensures that if chipping occurs during the cutting process, it happens on the unimportant side of the panel rather than on the visible finish side. By keeping the finished side away from the cutting edge, you minimize damage to the aesthetic quality of the panel, ensuring a cleaner cut and preserving the integrity of the laminate's appearance. When considering the other options, they either do not provide the same protection for the finish side or misplace the panel in a way that increases the risk of chipping or damaging the visible layer. Proper tool setup and panel orientation are crucial in achieving a high-quality finish in laminated panel cuttings.
