This chopsaw stop block has worked wonderfully for me. It speeds up my crosscut work significantly, and I never use a tape measure at the saw anymore. A special feature of the stop block is the replaceable insert, which ensures perfect-length cuts. To align the stop, set the hairline pointer (marked on a piece of clear plastic) to zero, slide the insert past the sawblade, tighten everything up and cut off the insert, which zeroes it. Now you can slide the pointer to whatever measurement you need, tighten the stop-block knob and cut with confidence.

Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig

The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
