If you're planning out future additions, find the money to buy quality standalone machines.

A strong second from me

We have a micrometer stop on ours mounted on a rod, we can put it close to where it needs to go and adjust the 1/2-20 screw to fine tune.
We have 2 4" stroke pneumatic pistons mounted on either side(actuated via foot switch) to clamp parts, but any semi-permanently mounted clamp that is quick and easy to use would fulfill this part. The key is clamping as close to the blade as you can to let you cut small parts.
I will take a picture of our set-up if I remember this weekend, but I think our prototyping workshop vid on YouTube has it in the video.
