Clamp the cutoff?
Mitre saw & using a length stop
1 - 9 of 9 Posts
What sawblade is used? A negative of positive. (Photo SW). For professional use in Europe a negative rake angle is obligated (only on a mitre saw). If you are not a professional you may do it the way you like.

I think we are all assuming perfectly milled lumber… a cup here (and not of vino), a bow there (even from a self acclaimed Robin Hood)... will undoubtedly create unpredictable results…
Not being technical, I won't enter a pissing contest about blade type (though thanks for the info Dutchman) and answer as a hacker with all his fingers… so far.
Assuming yazall not going to rush to your garden shed and grab that rake... and I don't think "NOT getting it" is what Dutchy refers to as a negative rake.
If the piece is big enough clamp it… all saws come with a clamp and if you weren't stupid enough to toss yours out when you added the ZCI… use a narrow 6mm, or maybe even a 3mm, ZCI…no need for that beefy one, and still permit the clamp clearance/swing.
If your one of those 98% stupid "tossers", at least hold by hand… or use a million dollar stick,

if it's small… and if you're not prepared to spend a million dollars, a door stopper on a dowel may keep fingers far enough away,

or "school erasers" on a dowel for hold down,

Take note of the multiple choice for ends!
Alternatively, just be patient and wait for the blade to stop… or at least slow down to minimise damage.
