I really suck at using a chop saw (I’m a hobbyist), by sucking I mean that I struggle to cut to consistent lengths and angles, a carpenter friend of mine told me he uses a stop block on his mitre saw. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to build one for my chop saw?
What chop saw do you have?

I hate to be the one to tell ya, but that style of chop saw is going to be very difficult to make accurate cuts. I only use that kind for construction use, like steel studs or rebar cutting.
A better chop saw is a Evolution saw. It uses a carbide tip steel blade. It spins slowly and cuts cool with very little sparks. It also cuts miters.
Or this awesome saw
Another option is this saw. I have one
It use to be 800.00 but I guess everything goes up in price. It’s going to be cheaper to maintain because the blades are cheap.
