It’s quite a hard thing to photo (I’ve just found out)
The white melamine faced ply doors have quite a big chamfer cut around them but it can be smaller like on the kitchen door.
If you don’t cut a chamfer or ease the edges with a sanding block the birch veneer on the face will get caught and break off.

Interesting, I'm definitely keen to make them longer lasting. What kind of profile would that leave?
After much wrangling about the cutting I got them CNC'd. Partly as I thought it would save time and partly because the work top cost a small fortune and I couldn't face the doors not doing the work top justice as it were.
In the end there were other issues that slowed the project down, and if I was doing it again I would just spend a bit more money on a nice track saw. I've messed up a couple of measurements so will need to cut some new doors anyway.
