Guess I'm old school, Jay - I had a simple plytopped table, long enough to support my strips; I screwed on a piece of scrap 1/2" X 1" X 2', cut my 'scarf angle', and simply spring clamp my strips to it, run my little (inexpensive) Japanese saw through the slot, and voila'! perfect scarf. Haven't chopped my fingers off yet, either. Quieter, too.

The moral - there's a hundred different ways to skin this one. It's not rocket science, so don't over-think it.
