If I didn't have a band saw, I'd clamp a stop block to my TS sled and
use another clamp to hold the dowel stock while I cut - should be able
to produce a dozen identical pieces in about two minutes...


He doesn't say what he has. Personally I'd just clamp a stop to the
fence on my RAS and chop chop chop. One should be able to do the same
with a CMS or SCMS.
