   Rough and longer stock.. cut to an over-size and then final cut on TS. Short stock.. TS only.

   IMO, the SCMS is made for this type of work.

   SCMS for table legs for me. Sliding stop is a no brainer and the 12" blade puts a fine finish on the ends. Making 3" by 3" by 3" blocks or shortys I would use the sled at the TS.

   My saws are equipped with only 10" blades, but that shouldn't be a problem for 2-3/4" stock. Anyway, it sounds like the SCMS is the consensus. I guess I'll cut the 28.5" lengths on the SCMS.

   Chop saw with a stop block, without a doubt. It's fast, easy, repeatable and accurate.

   More than 8' long, the SCMS;
   More than 8' long, the SCMS; less than 8" long, TS with sliding cross cut jig. Otherwise, whichever is closer and set up.

   Cherry is expensive.. Well, all wood is by me..

   Either saw will do the job as long as you are sure it cuts at a true 90 degrees or other angle..

   I have an older Delta RAS that I use for this task...it'll handle the longest of boards, will cut the thickest of planks, and has a better table than any SCMS. and for what I paid($125), you can't beat it......
