Stop Blocks for Miter Saws Buyer’s Guide
Size
The weight isn’t much of a concern, because the best stop blocks for miter saws are all under 5 pounds. The size is where you should put more thought into it because our experts say the larger the stop, the larger the material it can handle.

If possible, don’t go for plastic stops. It’s okay if the construction is partly plastic, but our woodworking team suggests metal construction.
