'Safely' cutting plastic pipe

Why not just take a board on the side of the pipe and clamp it to the PVC pipe. Put the clamp so that it grabs the inside of the PVC pipe and not across the whole pipe. That will hold the pipe so that it won't twist, and then just run it thru against the fence (board and clamps are away from the fence.

I agree. Or screw the board to the outside of the pipe where the bottom of the board registers flat to to top of your ts. Raise the blade to only a little over the thickness of your pipe wall. A whole lot less danger of kickback or anything else, than trying to rip a gnarly piece of red oak. 

If I might ask, what the heck are you making?
