Any ideas would be appreciated here. I need to cut ends of apron piece for
a high chair at 4 degrees with tenons also at 4 degrees. Problem is my nice
miter gauge from rockler only has 1.5 degree increments and (head hung low)
I've tossed the old original guide for my table saw. I was thinking I could
stand my stock up and tilt my t/s blade cut the ends and use a rabbeting bit
to make the shoulder cuts on the face and a hand saw to clean up top and
bottom?
I use my Delta tenoning jig for angled tenons. You could also cut set your
miter gauge at 90° and attach a block cut at 4° to it.

Use your taper jig (you do have a taper jig, don't you?) to cut a 4-degree
wedge. You can then use this wedge in conjunction with both your miter
gauge to set the angle you need.
If you don't have a taper jig, make one. All you need are a hinge, a
thumbscrew, and a few plywood scraps.

Have you considered using loose tenons instead?

As Caleb said, use the tapering jig to cut a 4° block, then use the miter
gauge at 90° along with the block to cut the cheeks.
