On a recent project, I wanted to make repetitive cuts on my miter saw. Because I didn’t have a fence for a stop block, I decided to use a simple piece of T-track to hold the stop block to my saw.
Sliding Block. My miter saw has holes drilled in the aluminum fence. It ended up being the perfect point to attach T-track to the saw using machine screws, as seen here. Then, I made a sliding stop block that I can position for repetitive cuts. The block is nothing more than a piece of plywood that has a groove and dado cut on the back side to accept hardwood keys.
The keys sit inside the T-track to hold the block at 90°. To cut long pieces without removing the stop block, I can loosen the knob and turn the block out of the way before tightening it back down (photo above).
