Joe, I will try to post photos tomorrow.

Yup, that's the one that I have too. It truly is a masterpiece. Bob Michaels.
Joe, see Dennis Tebo's post with photos further down, that's the saw. You can get an idea of the small scale by comparing it to the left and right miter slots of the full size table saw.
that would be my first step if I planned to use it all for the same boxes, but I doubt even a quarter of one of those slabs will be used for this same design. I'd hate to turn them into small pieces that I can only use for certain projects if I don't have to.
Only for ripping as far as I know. I have been wanting to get one for a while though since most of the instructional videos I watch on YouTube all have one and seem to swear by it for safety
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this lately trying to make a smart decision while still taking into account not only cost, but also space required, amount of use, and accessories needed to go along with each method. The more I think about it the more it makes sense for me to just get one of the incra sleds. I am kind of torn between the incra express and 1000se combo or the incra 5000 sled and a secondary miter gauge whether it be the 1000se or one of their cheaper miter gauges since the one in my Grizzly Binds in the channel I sometimes wonder if it was dropped before I bought it.
A mitre box with a stop.
I had to make a zillion little "accent" pieces out of ebony for our kitchen cabinets, 5/16ths square, by a 1/4" thick. My Keen Kutter Mitre did them as quick as any machine would have.

One of these would be nice. http://www.bridgecitytools.com/defau...intmakers.html Videos: http://www.bridgecitytools.com/defau...maker-pro.html
Re-read first post about funds. I suggest the hand saw like others.
Four inches is pretty long. For just one, a handsaw, for just a few the power miter, if it's hundreds I'd stack them up on a sled with a stop on the cabinet saw (with a fine-tooth cutoff blade) and have at it. A power miter with a stop is problematic because when you lift the saw you'll pickup the cutoffs with the backdrag on the teeth.

"the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.” Confucius
Order of operations counts here, I would cut to width then resaw for thickness, then hand plane to a finish and finally cut to length.
This is not so hard, use a shooting board and cut to length with a handsaw.

Bumbling forward into the unknown.
Just make a small crosscut sled for your Grizz. Or buy the Miter 5000 package from Incra but that seems like total overkill for what you're doing, unless you're mitering or need angled cuts on that small stock.
