What happens here

With the stop block securely clamped and the miter saw ready, begin making your cuts. Place a piece of wood against the stop block and the fence. Operate the miter saw to cut the wood. It is extremely important to allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop before raising it from the cut. This prevents the blade from grabbing the workpiece or the cut-off piece and throwing it, which is a significant safety hazard. Repeat this process for all the pieces you need to cut.

Goal: Efficiently make multiple, identical cuts using the stop block.

because the sawdust has a place to go. Now, we just line it up, All right, now it's super important to let that saw come to a full stop before you come up. If I were to just quick chop and come up, that gives this blade an opportunity to grab this block and throw it behind itself. And there you have it. All the same size blocks cut quickly with a stop block.
