Building myself a table, with formica laminate and 1 1/2" plywood substrate.
I'm new to woodwork, and I'm not sure if I should laminate then cut hole for insert, or cut hole, laminate, and cut the lam to fit the hole.

If I do it the former way, then it's done in one go, but I'm not too sure how easy this stuff cuts.
The latter, and I can cover up mistakes in the substrate with putty before laminating, but my depth of cut will be a bit iffy.

Any advice is much appreciated.
