Good idea, but I prefer to use a circular saw with a cutting table. Make a quick, cheap platform from 2"x3"s and attach banquet table legs to it. The open table makes it very useful, and when your blade cuts it up too much you just replace it. Plus, you can do it outside so that if you're like me and your workshop is in the basement its easier to get it there in pieces.

Tom... My favorited non-woodworking woodworking tool is one I just discovered a few weeks ago by accident. I was cleaning my garage, when I put a 20" oscillating fan on the end of my bench to get it out of the way temporarily. I forgot to put it back, so it was there the next time I needed the bench for woodworking. I was doing a routing job. Instead of putting it away, I plugged in the fan, turned off the oscillator, and placed it focused on my workpiece, about a foot away. I routed away and watched wood chips get blown to the side instead of up at me or hanging out blocking my view. I like it even better when I'm sanding, especially with a random orbit sander. Sawdust is blown to the side (blown in the direction of my air scrubber), while I get clear views of my work and clear air to breathe. Don't know how I lived without it.
