I hate using that jig, but some people swear by it, old timers who likes the accuracy, not that you can't produce the same cut on a chop saw. Its just easier on the table saw but for long length, I rather cut that on the chop saw with supports of course. Table saw isn't portable. Lets say that you have to cue bases and case in the upstairs room. A chop was is king for that kind of work unless you like the exercise running back and forth to the shop? I am talking about a cabinet size table saw, not a job site one. I wouldn't cut too much miters with the job site little saw with a jig. Not too safe unless you have all kinds of outfeed and extensions.
