My safety concern is about the cut-offs getting jammed against the stop
that is 1" away from the far side of the blade.

Are the safety concerns real? Any clever jig ideas?

One thing to be concerned about is making it too easy. I don' t know the
best way to do it, but I do know you should avoid any method that can get
repetative where you can miss and cut yourself instead of the wood. Don't
get into a situation where you are pushing the material into the saw with
your left hand and bringing down the bladw with your right. Too easy to cut
too short and take off a finger. .

A thought on the RAS. Can you make a special table for it? If the stop was
at the top of the stock and the table allowed the parts to drop off the end
or into a hole they would clear as soon as the blade passed. Given enough
time and money the solution is there.
