Again you should  be able to do this with a panel jig.

A  laminated 2" x42" X 7' on your sled? I'm too old and feeble to manage that. That would weigh around 175 lbs. And 42" is much too wide for  my 10" Delta. Not possible unless you have a jumbo size table saw. Imagine there are some sliders that would accommodate a wide and heavy crosscuts. I will always bring the tool to the work on large pieces like this thread has been asking about. I just cut it off with a skill type saw with a straight edge guide. I have a clamping straight edge for this work. And use the same edge with a big router and a bit that cuts 90 to the surface.  I take a little less than 1/16".

I have not tested the capacity of my new incra 5000. I have made some 23" crosscuts 3 ft long. 3/4" birch. Before I made the cut I rough cut the plywood first an inch bigger. The lighter it is the more control you have. And more control means more accuracy. Something I care about.
