Depends. It's usually not the best tool for the job, but it can do it.
If there's a flat side and it's thin enough to run through the saw, it's fine.
If there's a flat side, but it's too thick, often you can flip it end over end and get it done with two passes.
If there's no flat side, you can often screw it down, clamp it, or tape it to a plywood board.
If you have a bandsaw, it's often safer and easier, but a tablesaw will get you a straighter, cleaner cut if it's possible.
