There is a tendency to set it and creep towards a fit with multiple trim cuts and judicious use of a block plane for the final adjustments. It's all very well having angles exact, but when buildings are, in general, anything but square, level or plumb, then dead on doesn't necessarily produce the right angle in any case! Hence the need to be able to adjust by hand, however much that may offend your sensibilities as an engineer. To get exactness out of the box the only way forward is the likes of a Festool mitre saw - and they cost!The preset mitre locks are a little sloppy, not a lot but still not quite bang on so you can lock it anywhere in the sloppy part so you never know what angle you are locking it to and also you can never repeat the same angle. I am a precision engineer by trade so not sure what passes for acceptable in the wood working trade. I will have a closer look at it though to see if there is anything I can do improve this.
