I'm worried about this same problem...I haven't bought the laminate yet, but I see that Formica and Pionite brands have a slightly thinner version for "vertical post-forming". In other words, its thinner so you can bend it to form a radius, etc. I think the "standard" Formica is 0.047", and the thinner grade 20 is like 0.028".
If you used that, you'd still have an edge showing but not as much.
If you come up w/ a solution, please post it...!
: If you have a router, get a flush cutting bit. It has a bearing on the bottom that will follow the laminate. You may have to build a jig to hold the router square to the cabinet as the t moulding has a rounded profile.

: : Hi, I'm running into a problem where my 3/4" MDF + home depot laminate used for my control panel are wider than my 3/4" t-moulding, but less wide than 7/8" t-moulding.. are there any clever workarounds, perhaps sources for thinner laminate?
: : I could slightly bevel the edge of the mdf, but I would think the laminate would not adhere correctly in the corners.
