Since I am no expert I have used skill saws and jig saws with good blades. I will use a guide to help keep my cuts straight and then I sand. I have also used a straight edge and clamped it to the material flush along the edge I cut and then I used a sander that will remove the high points but the steel straight edge keeps it flat. I have always liked the thought of a table saw and always hated the idea of only using it 2 to 4 times a year and keeping it around all the time. My Dad did that and I can’t tell you how many times a year I would have to move it to get to something else.
