Default Ripping miter cuts

Using a left tilt saw, when ripping long miter cuts ( 36" ) do you

use the

I find that when I use the fence on the right I have a hard time

keeping the
stock against the fence, even with hold downs and push sticks it

seems that
the stock wants to ride up the tilted blade.

Have you tried using a feather board locked in a miter gage slot to
keep the stock against the fence?

This is in addition to a hold down.

Another suggestion would be to use the "Board Buddy" product (Tapered
plastic spring loaded rollers).
