I recently moved my Jointer to the left of the Table Saw. I added an auxillary fence to the jointer with rare earth magnets.(easily removeable). The very top edge of the jointer's auxillary fence has "slippery" plastic. The height of this edge is exactly the height of the table saw surface. Now when crosscutting long boards with the miter gauge of the table saw, the jointers slippery fence supports the long board.
It's a nice placement too because, just as soon as I joint the edge of a board to be ripped, I just turn 180 degrees and I'm facing the table saw. This really cut down on steps taken between jointing an edge and ripping on the saw.
Something for you to consider.
