No Ralph, Think of a large fixed miter gauge only it has a sheet of material.which slides over the table top.
This is intended to cross cut panels like maybe a cabinet door. Let us say a three foot by two foot sheet of thin plywood. Along one three foot edge you fix a three foot or longer piece of straight wood, preferably hardwood maybe a two by two. On the under side of this sheet and running parallel to the two foot dimension you attach a strip which runs in the miter slot. You lay the panel to be cut on this sheet aligning it with the two by two fence and push the lot through the saw. If you remove your rip fence, usually that side of the saw will have a table extension and this will give you a bit more support for the jig. You can make the jig large enough to span the saw for even larger panels. I recently read of a jig one fellow made for cutting very accurately, a series of pieces, 12 I think for gluing up to be turned on a lathe. This he called a sled and specifically designed for those very precise cuts. If you want more information or a better explanation just ask.
