Cutting pre made formica countertops from Home Depot
I plan on buying the pre formed formica countertops sold at Home Depot for $100 per 10 ft.
Are those pieces hard to cut without damaging the formica?

Not particularly. Use a fine toothed blade and cut from the back side. These are very heavy, so you really need some help. You'll need to hold the loose end in place. I put some masking tape on the front side to reduce chipping.
