A tenoning jig:



Basically, it's designed to safely hold a vertical piece safely while riding in the miter slot. I haven't had a chance to see how it would work with one of these pieces yet.

Ken, aren't you talking a crosscut? I'm unsure what you mean by your fence doesn't go out to 4'. If you're crosscutting that 1X2 to be a touch shorter, the miter gauge would be used on the saw. A fence is used when ripping long pieces.
