That's not totally safe. I'd use a different technique.

I wouldn't trust it to be repeatable either. If that 2x4 is not tight to
the table, the work piece can slide under and your cut will be off ever so
slightly.
How do you get the 2x4 tight without lifting the miter gauge in the
slot? It looks like a bad idea all around.

I don't like the idea of the piece being trapped between the stop block
and the blade. It just doesn't look safe to me.

What would happen if the piece got a little loose and shifted/"twisted"
sideways a bit?

Exactly! The same reason one doesn't use a miter gauge and a fence at
the same time.



You can use both at the same time when cutting rabbets and or if you
have a spacer block clamped to the fence.
