That works if you have a stop block, most that I've ever used don't have that. Of course you could get creative with clamps and pieces of scrap wood but unless I'm cutting a lot of wood that seems like excessive time and effort. Maybe it's my "Work smarter, not harder" mentality from home construction, but I like using a table saw for all kinds of cutting. In the case of the original poster depending on the length of the long end of the board I would probably still use the table saw even after the kickback (just pay a little more attention to the small pieces that I'm cutting off).
