If you want a super accurate angle you setup a sine bar as your
reference, and then tram the tilted head on the sine bar to get it
precise.


Yup, but I seldom do angled work that precise, and if I do, I just use
the sine plate to angle the work to the bed.


I generally program a ball end mill to hemstitch the angle onto the
workholding fixture using X Z or Y Z stepover.

Takes a while but comes out dead nuts.

Brown & Sharp made some nice stuff!
