If you don't already have a back saw and miter box ,
get something like this : https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Tools/thin-slot-miter-box-w-saw-42tpi/ZNA00035241/product.php?s=4&t=0&u=1
I added some timber to it ,
an adjustable stop that makes cutting exact lengths , even super short lengths , really easy and accurate .
The lever is to hold the rod/tube tight to the fence -- it's removable for wider stock .
The screw on the magnet anchors it to the edge of the bench . The end of the lever has a hole for hanging it adjacent the bench .
