I did an operation similar to this on my band saw where I was cutting steel 2" Diam down it's length of 6.25" What I did, which may not get you within the tolerances you need was essentially create a U shaped jig out of wood. Obviously it can be done out of metal to be more accurate. I locked in txo bolts in my T slots so that I could push a piece of wood up against them and it was perpendicular to the saw blade. I held this down with table clamps so it wouldn't jump and to take a little stress of the backstop bolts. I Then centered up my piece of steel using the slot in the table, this may require some adjustment depending on how centered your blade is in the slot. I then pressed a piece of wood on both sides of the stock and clamped them to my backstop piece, thus making the U. The Piece didn't jump and it led to a nice cut. The key was making sure my back stop was perpendicular and that my stock had a nice flat surface to press up on. Like i said if you did this with Metal it'd probably be even better.

So if that other place doens't work out you can try that.
