A landing apron for your miter jig.( extension for your table saw)

I have trouble with my tablesaw not having enough room back of the blade to allow me to pull my miter sled back to cut panels.
I have a dedicated sled but sometimes I just need an inch or two without setting up another jig.
I made this apron from scrap that fits in the fence slot and lets the miter travel off the table and still slide forward for the cut.

There is nothing much to say as it just pops into the slot and away I go.

This shot shows about 22" behind the blade - plenty of room for most cabinet doors.
