In shopping for a new TS, I found the distance from blade to front edge to vary from 13 1/2 on my contractor to as little as 8 inches on the F3.
Well, with a T-square type fence, why not just get a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 steel box and bolt it on the front edge? Notch for the slots. Then put the fence rail on that. Then you have a reasonable support for crosscutting.
