I seem to recall a Fine Homebuilding article where they had plans for a fixture to hold a bench top table saw for such uses... counter balanced to take the load off.

Just remember to let it fall if you loose your grip. Back in the '60s my father was a tool and die maker. One of his coworkers came in one morning with his hand all bandaged up and sans some fingers. His bench top table saw wasn't clamped down and fell off the bench while he was cutting. He tried to catch it.
