So I've been using a 12" speed square attached to the guide rail with an aluminium angle screwed to it for extra support for squaring up panels.

But I had no way of cutting multiple panels to the same length with out using some form of blocks of wood screwed to my cutting table.
So I came up with combining one parallel jig with the speed square attached to the guiderail. I had previously modified my parallel guides so I extend the stops to cut longer panels.

[attachthumb=5]

Now with this setup I can quickly set the stop to the desired length and cut multiple panels to all the same length. And they come out nice and square too.
 
Nice!  I like the extension modification for cutting longer/wider pieces.  Very cool. 

Thanks for posting,  I have been wanting to come up with some type of squaring jig for myself.  I just need to take the time to make one.
