I make toys from time to time and some of the parts are quite small or odd shaped. Here is a simple sled for cutting small parts.

It is made from a scrap piece of plywood with a single runner for the miter slot. I can cut tapers, make cuts on odd shaped pieces, cut small parts, etc.. Here it is with a holder attached, using double sided tape, to cut one of the parts I needed to make the fenders for 38 small tractors.

The part being cut is also held in place by double sided tape. When that project is done, the temporary holders can be easily removed.
With different holders many of the other parts I've needed for toys have been made safely.
