Auxillary fence

This may be a topic for a different forum, but I will post it here anyway.
I have noticed that most of the pics that I see of miter saws do not have a wood auxillary fence on them.
What is your opinion on using a auxillary fence constructed out of veneer core cabinet grade plywood to prevent chip-out and increase stability while cutting?
To be more clear, two pieces of ply that are joined @ 90degrees and are fastened to the fence of your miter saw.
Another benefit is one can more accurately cut as the kurf is visible in you sacrificial fence.

Re: Auxillary fence

If I'm understanding you right, - - it sounds good as long as you have a bunch of 'like-cuts' to do, - - but once you start changing bevels and angles your auxillary fence will have less and less backing.

One way to avoid 'chip-out' (at least on a slide saw) is to slide the saw towards you while making the cut, - - in effect, - - climb cutting. Works good on trim, - - but you should always push the blade toward the fence when cutting bigger stock, - - or it'll 'jam-and-kick'.
