Or maybe get a track saw system? The material doesn't move, instead you move the saw over the top of the material. Much safer, IMO. I am too poor for a Festool setup, but I am very impressed with how well my EZ system works. I have a "saw table" that's about 4'x2' on top, the track is attached by a pivot at both ends, and the piece to be cut is slipped under the track. The weight of the saw and track effectively clamps the work piece down. I have a longer track and another support "table" when I want to cut large panels, like a 4x8.
Just another idea.
I still occasionally use my table saw. When I do use it, it definitely feels more dangerous.
