What happens here

Take the stop block, with its newly cut 45-degree angle, and place it on the miter saw table, flush against the fence. Position the angled side of the stop block towards the saw blade. Use a tape measure to set the desired length for your cuts (e.g., 2 inches as demonstrated in the video). Once the desired length is set by aligning the tape measure from the blade to the stop block, secure the stop block in place using a clamp on the fence.

Goal: Accurately set the desired cut length and secure the stop block.

What they say

So, go ahead, pull your saw down, lock it. You want to make sure there's no sawdust on the table or the fence before you do this. So, now take your stop block, put it on the table and your fence, and adjust it to how big you want your cut. So, in our case, we're going to do a 2-in block. So, I'm going to line that up with 2-in block. Hold this down. I'm going to go ahead and clamp this. Now, you're probably wondering, why did we put that 45 on there? Well, I'll show you. If you make multiple cuts, you're going to get sawdust build up right
