I think I would still cut a test piece and adjust as required before I
cut my good stock.

'WL',
Define what you mean by a 'bevel indicator'. Any mechanical device with
moving parts has 'slop'. Depending in which direction you turn the operating
handle, the indicator will be slightly 'off'. When I was in college {for my
ME degree, this was even true of the precision of the heavy milling
machines, lathes, grinders, etc. that we used.}
IF I NEED that level of accuracy for a table saw cut . . . I use my
Stainless Steel 'Bevel Board' to set my Stainless 'bevel gauge' and
physically set & check the angle of the blade. I still may 'sneak up' on the
cut line . . . 'dry fitting' the part as I go.
