1. An auxiliary fence for a saw having a saw blade and a primary fence, the saw blade being configured to cut a workpiece along a cutting path and the primary fence extending transverse to the saw blade and supporting the workpiece in a position where the workpiece is disposed in the cutting path to be cut by the saw blade, the auxiliary fence comprising:
a fixed plate removeably coupled to the primary fence, the fixed plate comprising:
a first fixed portion defines a first beveled edge proximate the cutting path; and
a second fixed portion defines a second beveled edge proximate the cutting path, the second fixed portion configured to be spaced from the first fixed portion;
a moveable plate moveably coupled to the fixed plate, the moveable plate comprising:
a first moveable portion defines a third beveled edge proximate the cutting path, the first moveable portion configured to moveably couple to the first fixed portion; and
a second moveable portion defines a fourth beveled edge proximate the cutting path, the second moveable portion configured to moveably couple to the second fixed portion and spaced from the first moveable portion,
wherein the moveable plate extends between a trailing end and a leading end longitudinally opposite the trailing end;
wherein the leading end is disposed proximate the cutting path and the trailing end is disposed distal the cutting path;
wherein the moveable plate is configured to move to selectively adjust the spacing between the leading edge and the cutting path;
wherein the first beveled edge and the fourth beveled edge are configured to cooperate to closely flank the cutting path on opposite sides of the cutting path when the first moveable portion is selectively moved proximate the cutting path, wherein the first beveled edge is substantially parallel to the fourth beveled edge; and
wherein the second beveled edge and the third beveled edge are configured to cooperate to closely flank the cutting path on opposite sides of the cutting path when the second moveable portion is selectively moved proximate the cutting path, wherein the second beveled edge is substantially parallel to the third beveled edge.
