We were on stage and needed to cut down a bunch of Sentrex strips. We did not have a table saw with us, so my lead man made this. 

 

He did all the cutting himself, I thought it was a pretty cool idea.

Hey you gotta do what you gotta do, what did you do to square it up?

He measured off the edge of the MDF to the base of the saw. 

 

Screwed the plate to the MDF and plunged the blade in. 

 

The fence was measured from edge of MDF and blade to check for square and screwed down. Not great for ease of adjustability, but it worked for our needs.
