Normal carbide tipped tools can be used to cut this stuff. I use my Festool circular saw with the guide rail for smooth, straight cuts, carbide router bits for any edge treatments, and the adhesive in a good color match.
As for availability; check with some local cabinet/counter top shops for scraps, left-overs, or cancelled orders from a cabinet job. Unfortunately we just can't go into the local Lowes and but a sheet.
