You can get the required jig for this from most diy places, all you need then is a router.
Remember to cut in towards the laminate face at all times, this means machining some of the joints from the underside of the worktop. It is a lot harder to get a nice join than you might think especially if the room is out of square

Not sure what ya mean by that Mark. The room being out of sqaure doesnt affest the joint as the joint always goes sqaure with the units which are put in square. Any alterations are made to the rear of the worktop/units to get over the out of squareness. Unless you fit the units out of square which is rough
My room was 1 1/2 inches out of square looseing 1 1/2 inches would stick out like a sore thumb on the worktop and the B&Q corner base units give PLENTY of scope for adjustment (even if they are crap quality), I just mitred the worktop to match the angle of the wall and it does not show to the eye perhaps not the "correct" way to do it but it does not poke you in the eye when you look at the worktops.
