Default Cross cutting a dado

I made my workbench the same height as my table saw. The saw sets at the
end of my workbench, and acts as an extension for the saw for cross cutting.
The saw is on rollers and can be turned 90 deg. for ripping plywood.
Also my radial saw, is at the same height and sets next to the table saw,
so they all support each other. The rip fence on the T/S makes a perfect
stop for the R/S when making cutoffs. I have my shop a small 2 car garage
and space is very limited.

I picked up a stacked dado set last week, and am working on building a
simple bookcase. All the shelves will rest in dados, so I'd like to use
the dado set to ensure a consistent fit.

Here's the problem: The outer supports are 6' tall, and two shelves must
be at the ends of the boards. My table saw won't support a board that
long
without the board tipping.

I'm looking at building a side stand to support the extra length of the
board, but was wondering if anyone else had a suggestion. I don't have a
RAS.
