Yes, in fact, Sears used to sell a saw guide. It may be in their tool catalog. It is an aluminum "bar" conposed of 2 4 foot sections and another section about 2 foot long to join them together. Each 4 foot section haa a clamp which can clide up and down the bar. This clamp will hold the guide in place for cuts on a large sheet of lumber. It seems to me that I have seen it for around $15.

Andy, line up the edge of the blade with your mark so the blade won't cut away whatever you want to keep. Dale asked which is more versatile, a table saw or miter saw.
