Well, you could always mount a known good part and set up your compound
with
a dial gage or even feeler gauges. Then all you have to do is remove it,
set up your stock and go.



Not if the angle is critical. There are too many variables to set angles
by that method, cutting tool height amongst them. One uses a sine plate or
sine bar and inspects the angle being produced and makes the necessary
adjustments to correct the inherent errors made in setup. .
