Thanks for the info!

I spent at least an hour trying to search the forum for this type of info before posting my question - too many other posts about cut tabs instead of "cutting through cut tabs" in post processing. I just did a search for "laminate trimmer" and that brought up a bunch of similar posts to those in this discussion.

Sounds like everyone who trims tabs this way flips their sheet of parts over to get at the tab (bottom) side for trimming. (Unless they're using a router table as discussed above.) I'm still interested in hearing from folks who are cutting 4'x8' sheets into a zillion small parts - what's the trick for flipping sheets over without everything cracking apart at the tabs? Do you leave a wide web between parts? How wide? What about on 1/4" and thinner materials that flex a lot?
