I envy you that. It just wouldn't start straight for me. The long
leverage made it especially easy to over correct. (It turned out to
be pretty manageable just by adding some support at the far end,
behind me.

It sounds like you're having trouble sliding the wood and that it's not
travelling past the blade smoothly. If you were cutting a simple piece of
pine, does it cut smoothly, without burning? If not, then you likely have a
blade/fence alignment problem. If that's not the case then it's likely
friction from your support surfaces.

For any infeed/outfeed support that you're using, what kind of surfaces do
they have? For example, if you're trying to slide the plywood onto another
support that is plywood, then you're going to get some friction causing
difficulty cutting. Either hardboard, or better yet, some type of melamine
surface are about as smooth as you're going to get.
