I have many hundreds and hundreds of 1" cut-offs to make from 48" lengths
of 1x2 stock. After thoughts about ganging the cuts, as I've done these
over the past months I have found it is not too bad to cut them one 48"
strip at a time with an Incra 1000 miter gauge on my TS -- like the guy
slicing meat at the deli counter. .


You can clamp a piece of wood to your fence and use it for a stop.
Basically it is held back from the start of the blade so that you slide the
stock up until it touches the stop and then push the miter guage forward.
When you push it through the blade, there will be extra room between the
offcut and the fence to prevent binding and kickback. Since you have to do
a ton of them, cut a long tapered piece of wood (maybe 18" long and 2" wide
tapering down to zero) and clamp it to the table on the waste side of the
blade. Clamp it so that after a piece is cut off, the next piece coming
through pushes the cut piece onto the taper and the taper pushes the piece
away from the blade. You will form a small train of offcuts each pushing
the next off the back of the saw. When done, sweep them up.
