I think the carpenter has to adjust the saw with some sort of device. I don't know if that device is calibrated in degrees or if it is trued by some sort of straight-edge. If the latter, then it seems like the wedge suggested in Edgar's article might be a good idea. If a numeric figure is required, I guess it's calculator time.

I remember seeing an angle dial on some table saws, but I seem to recall that it is not accurately calibrated. Seems like I was told that you were better off using a more accurate guide if the angle was important. But this is not my field of expertise, so I'll defer that one to the cabinetmakers of the group.
