Craft knife, veneer saw or else rotary cutter easily cut commercial veneer but do not purpose sawed veneer over one and a half millimetre thick. Such Shop made veneer looks like solid wood with the same consistency and may be quickly and properly cut on the table saw. A simple fixture pinching veneer and going through a fine and sharp saw blade with the climb cutting method enables direct reassembling side by side.

The roller shutter casing you may see above , about 2.70m (8.8 ft) long, was covered with six sheets of home made veneer that were trimmed with the following fixture.
A screwed cleat fits the carriage groove and prevents the melamine double faced particleboard from sliding. So the carriage with the fixture and the veneer sheet go together through the working tool. As shown below a guard may shield the operator's hands but I have not added yet. Actually the blade protrudes about five millimetres over the veneer and has never reached the fixture top.

Veneer are thin layers. So climb cutting is safe with that technique and for the same reason riving knife does not help anything. In fact the fixture aims two main purposes. First the top board holds and flattens the veneer sheet against the runner. Second the fixture edge was machined flush to the teeth that cut from the bottom to the top and enables minimal tearout all the time. I commonly manage to rip strips less than 12 mm (½ inch) in with.

Cross cutting works the same with the mitre gauge holding a sacrificed block. In the real world the tedious operation was to remove and replace the riving knife and that modification strongly helped me to work with more ease.

The following project aims grooved saw table and may perform the same with a fixture hardly more difficult to build. If I had to make such accessory I do probably not miss the blade guard. Opposite to above the top might go away and I surely didn't feel comfortable otherwise.
