    Now that is what we all should have said right at the start of this thread!

    I won't crosscut a piece smaller that can be clamped on by the Makita clamp. If it is too short to clamp it is certainly too short to hold and I learnt this by having a small piece skew out of the clamp and jam the blade before I had a zero clearence fence on it.

    Mat,

    Call peacock saws in Brisbane, they have some good quality hand saws that don't break the bank.
    By the time you make your zero clearance fence, clamped the wood multiple times, positioned yourself correctly etc.... you could have ripped it with a handsaw.
