Why not? I've cut high pressure laminate ("Formica") many times
on a table saw with excellent results. I never felt like I was
"screwing around" at all.

Ditto here. I use a Freud laminate blade with stellar results. Cuts
like
butter.

And here. Same blade, same results. I use an auxiliary fence of BB plywood
clamped to the rip fence to keep the Formica from running underneath, and
a
featherboard clamped to the auxiliary to hold the stuff down during the
cut,
and it's just as smooth as silk.

I used to use a similiar method until I bought one of those 48" straight
edge clamp dealies like norm uses. You clamp it to the fence and there is a
channel that the laminate slides into. You gotta do a little math for
setting your width but it sure works slick.
