I was making a portable gate to use for the dog. It was modeled after our railing/baluster design. The balusters are 1.25 inches square and are in groups of three. The groups are spaced 3 inches apart. There are a total of 12 balusters. I had everything painted and stained and had assembled the balusters to the handrail and the bottom rail. I went to attach the sides and realized I had cut the balusters too long. 
Instead of disassembling the balusters, I made severals marks for the correct length, supported the balusters, aligned the guide rail, and made the cut with my TS55. Now I had to only remove the cutoffs from the bottom rail and reassemble the shortened balusters to the bottom rail. The guide rail and saw made correcting this mistake incredibly easy.
