Get a piece of wood about 9in x 3in x 1/2 in and cut one end off at an angle of about 60 or 70 degrees. Now saw slots about 1/2 in apart from this end parallel to the long side and about 4 or 5 inches long right across the board ( fingers). Now put your work on the saw table and clamp this finger board to the guide fence so that the fingers just touch the top of the work and point in the direction of travel. Now the work can only move one way through the saw and can't kick back or lift.... Safe as houses. A second finger board clamped onto the table will keep the work held tight against the fence also.
