Stop block for repetitive Cross cuts using the miter fence.
Of course we all know you can't use the rip fence as a stop as the cutoff will jam between the blade and rip fence, possibly causing a major kickback.
Having a block on the rip fence in front of the blade allows cutoffs to lay peacefully and safely once cut.
In this case I made it to work with the really nice Rockler Fence clamps (see separate article) and I made it exactly one inch wide so my rip scale would indicate the length of the cutoff + one inch.
I have the T-nuts that fit the slot in the front of the fence but the Rockler Fence Clamp is so much easier to use and doesn't interfere with operations.
Another five minute project you can use many times.
