   This is a clever idea. But I have one safety suggestion based upon my own experience. I was ripping 1 inch strips off of a poplar board. My right hand held a push stick. My left had was at the back corner, just like Tom McKenna. My push stick caught the moving saw blade and kicked back. That rotated my whole body a little. My left index finger came crossways into the teeth of the sawblade. My SawStop fired and saved the last inch of my finger. I suggest using a push stick or push block laid flat on the saw table applying pressure to the stock, keeping it against the clever jig. It's more convenient than a feather board. And it will keep the user's left hand away from the saw blade.

   I would use my long magnetic feather board to hold the piece against the jig. That way no hands need ever be part of the action.
