I picked this up a while back to use for cutting the small inlays I use on most of my projects. Using the regular miter gauge my fingers were getting uncomfortably close to the blade. Finally got around to assembling it.

It went together quickly and works great. Has a t slot for clamps, so no more finger clamps. 👍

When you order also pick up a couple of t slot camps if you need them. I got these.

[member=3192]rvieceli[/member] - your post is a really helpful reminder to all and especially to less experienced woodworkers:

    Machinists use workholding automatically.
    Woodworker not so much - at least until they have a few close calls.

The ROCKLER example appears to be a good one and something similar can be shop built for special applications . Applies to Router Tables as well.
Woodpeckers Drill Press Table also deserves mention in this connection.

thanks for sharing

Timely right, for me at least.. a set back caused by something not so frightening; namely a stationary belt sander which did off my fingerprint on my left ring finger. Watch out and use “things” instead of your fingers.  [big grin]
 
I'm eyeing something similar: Microjig 360 sled kit, seen in a recent issue of Fine Woodworking, which allows numerous user-built set-ups to be made including a cross-cut sled, an angled sled, a circle jig, a tenon jig, etc.
