You can get small machinist squares for layout at many industrial and
tool
stores. I bought mine at Enco. The small ones are perfect for checking
the
accuracy of saw setups.

It's a trifle pricy, but I was thinking of buying one of the digital "tilt
boxes" for measuring my blade angle. It would be convenient on those angle
cuts. Of course, if all I was cutting was 90° and 45° cuts then it would
be
cheaper and easier to pick up a 45° square.

I have a tilt box, I use it more and more each day. I was adding an outer
side platform to a steel tool stand/table. Because the legs on the stand
were angled out 5 degrees I had to cut the bracing at a 5 degree angle so
that the surface would be parallel to the table top plane. I put the tilt
box on the table top, zeroed it, and then stuck it to the leg and got an 85
degree reading. The nice thing is that if firs into tight spots.
