This project came about from working at my daughter's Escape Room business a few weeks ago. While my son-in-law Matt, and I were working together I saw him cutting multiple pieces on the tablesaw, which would've been much easier on his miter saw. Then it hit me, I should make him a work-stop like I did for my miter saw.

What you see below is my miter saw, and if you look close you can see that I've added a 3/8" diameter rod to the left side of it (there is another rod on the right side as well). This is one part of the saw stop that I made awhile back. The other part of it is hanging towards the back so it's always close by when I'm not using it.
 

Here is the miter saw stop in position and ready to use. It's fully adjustable, works from either side of the saw, is very easy to setup and works really good. This is what I'll be making for Matt, which should make his life easier when he's cutting a few pieces of the same length.
 

I bought a three feet piece of 303 Stainless Steel for this work stop, which has very good corrosion resistance and should last a long time. The diameter is 3/8".
 

I'm checking the angle on the side of my miter saw because I'll be making some angle-shims with a hole in the middle so the threaded piece will end up parallel to the deck of the saw. Even though my saw is made by a different manufacture than my son-in-law's, I think the angles should be the same.

I set my angle gauge to zero on the deck of my saw first (arrow). Then I checked the, which was about 4 1/2 degrees from the deck. This angle is very common in aluminum castings because it helps release and eject the piece from the mold after the aluminum has been poured. Now that I know what angle I need, it's time to make some shims.
 

I'm using aluminum for the shims which should work great for this. Why do I have four pieces? Because I'm making two for myself while I'm here. You see, the way I put my work stop together was to use conical washers, which worked but they're not the greatest. Once I'm finished with these, our saws will look and work the same.
 

Here are the finished angled shims. The reason I'm only showing you two of them is because I've already installed the other two on my saw. I also put a note on each piece that needs to face the side of the saw.
