I have a Minimax ST3c (the SC3 with a shaper), and I am thinking about making a modification to it, and am wondering if I am missing any downsides/protential problems.
I am thinking about adding a bar to the crosscut, to make it easier to crosscut wide panels.

To be clear, I have the saw in the link above, and I'd like to drill two holes and attach a 4' bar to the end of the sliding table crosscut, because if I have to crosscut 1' off of a 4'x8', the sheet wants to 'tip up' ever so slightly, causing it to miss the scoring blade, and just generally be a pain in the butt.
The saw is out of warranty, so it won't have an impact there, the bar wouldn't be that heavy, so I can't see it being a problem based on it's weight alone, and I am already crosscutting sheets, just not comfortably.
Opinions? Ideas?
Thanks,
Will
(PS: to be clear, I am after something like the crosscut on this saw, with the long bar: https://www.haco.com/en/our-services/panel-saws-ps400, only a homemade version)
