HPL (high pressure laminate) is somewhat similar to wood and very dense.
Cutting
Carbide-tipped circular saw blades for (hard) wood reportedly work just fine.
When using a jigsaw, metal blades and low pendulum action should reduce tearout [1].
Tapping
You can apparently tap threads for metric screws directly into the material! We do not yet have experience with this, but if it's any similar to tapping hardwood you should apply oil to the pre-drilled hole.
