[edit] Magnetic Stop Block

When cross-cutting short pieces to the same length, I like to clamp a stop block to the rip fence of my table saw. This block provides clearance between the rip fence and the saw blade so the cut-off pieces don't get trapped (and kick back).

Remember that your router bits need to be stored safely as they cost a lot of money and you don't want to damage them. If you haven't got any storage for them then this project is ideal for you...
