How do you make repeat bevel cuts to an exact length?

Finish Carpentry
Trim & Molding
Miter Saw

A bevel changes what the length even means. The saw is tilted, the kerf leaves the material at an angle, and the long point and the short point are two different numbers on the same piece. Reset a stop block for that and you are measuring the block, not the part. The M1 Caliber reads the material at the fence with the blade offset already applied, so the figure on the screen is the finished dimension with the saw where it stands. Set it once and cut the whole run.

The video runs a series of bevel cuts with the saw tilted over and the M1 mounted on the fence. Each piece slides out to the reading and gets cut without the tool being touched between pieces and without a block being reset. The bevel stays where it was set; only the length changes.
