Consider making a miter sled like the one on the Jig and Fixtures page of my
website.

Big plus is the _exact_ "45 degree" angle basically becomes a moot point
(particularly with the usual widths of picture frame miters) because the
order of cut insures complementary angles, and the jig allows you to use a
stop block to insure the sides are all cut the same length.

These two concepts combined make miter cutting a much easier task, with less
tweaking.

I think your solution is the best -- and it is on my list to do before my
framemaking starts. Question: Why don't you have stops on both sides of
the sled? Yes, it would be a bit (more) awkward to store, but wouldn't
that help ensure identical lengths of opposing sides -- i.e., do the frame
sides to the left and the frame top and bottom to the right of the blade?
