Chopsaw Stop Block

T

HIS CHOPSAW STOP BLOCKhas worked wonderfully for me. It
speeds up my crosscut work significantly, and I never use a tape
measure at the saw anymore. A special feature of the stop block is the
replaceable insert, which ensures perfect-length cuts. To align the stop,
set the hairline pointer (marked on a piece of clear plastic) to zero,
slide the insert past the sawblade, tighten everything up, and cut off
the insert, which zeroes it. Now you can slide the pointer to whatever
measurement you need, tighten the stop-block knob, and cut with
confidence.
