Not having a decent table saw I always used by electrical hand saw with a straight edge clamped sqaure to cut the ends of boards sqaure. It is a lot of effort to move the straight edge, and to get it square.
So I got this idea for boards up to 180mm (7") wide. I took the giude plate and front handle off of my Infinity coping sled, and use that with a flush trim bit, with the bearing at the bottom, to cut ends sqaure.
Because of the direction of rotation, you also get a very clean cut with no chips, and setup is fairly quick.
