I think table saw is over-rated. I only use tablesaw to rip a long pice of wood. For cross cut, I always use a sliding mitre saw, with the object clampped down. The table saw is dangerous because you move your hands toward the blades. Even with a push stick you may slip. Plus there is no easy way to turn off the machine in the process if you have both hands engaged in pushing the objects. All the safe devices are cumbersome and inflexible. I have some close call, and am thinking of acquiring a Festool for long, rip cut..
