My guess is less than 5% of my cross cut pieces are more than 30" long.

But the other end needs to be squared before you cut it to 30"


Rough cut with any saw to 30+"

By definition "rough" is not "square".

That said, a simple solution is to put a spacer board between the fence and
the workpiece to allow it to extend past the stop block.

I know this because I frequently set up my stop block and then realize that
I had not yet squared up my ends.
