Counter top laminate

What's the best way to remove laminate ( Formica ) from a counter top, for replacement with new laminate? Is it possible to put new over old? How does the old need to be prepped so the new will adhere to the old?

Stone sink top

How would you cut a marble or granite work-top to take a sink? I can guess as far as marking it out conventionally and imagine with 1/2" over-hang, I won't need to worry too much about a polished finish. So would a drill do the monkey business? Or won't peanuts cover it?
