Has anyone cut Formica/laminates?

I ask specifically in regard to this Instructable.

Bottom line is it produces formaldehyde. With really good ventilation, and no susceptibility to it, you might be good to go. Your decision.

If you don’t want to click through, the relevant information is this MSDS from Formica. They do specifically address laser cutting and formaldehyde on page 7.

I don’t think anyone on this forum has posted any experiences with it.

After reading the MSDS and upper respiratory issues with the dust, I’m stealing clear of plastic laminate.
