A pal is wanting to make a desktop from 18mm laminate faced ply. He'd like the top edge to be rounded over so it's not sharp. Can laminate faced ply be successfully routed with a roundover bit without chipping the laminate?

Cheers
 
Yes it can. Keep the radius small - something like 1.5 mm otherwise the ply layers are exposed.
