A few miter gauges have a 1/10 degree vernier, so the precision is available (though perhaps not to 70 degrees, directly). What the accuracy of the gauge is, including miter slot slop, may be another matter.

Or CNC. What would either do without keyboards ...
My Ouija Board has a USB2 port.
These are handy:
My tape measures have wireless connections.
*tips hat* . . . and then wonders why not and when?
Yeahbut Why even use the miter saw if you have to set up a jig?
Does your accurat protractor have teeth to cut the wood??? He is looking for a tool to "make" the cut not measure the cut.
For sake of argument ...
Well, there is that. Doh! LOL
You use the protractor to set the miter gauge, then you use the table saw to make the cut. How complicated is that?

Come on, people - have you forgotten how to work without using miter gauges that have built-in stops???
Tom
Who said anything about stops?
The point is.... in the OP's original statement, which you quoted, he stated... "no tool that I know of, would allow you to make a precision cut like
70.6 degrees."It seems to be obvious to most of us that he's referring to a cutting tool, not a measuring tool.
----------------------------- Way back when thread started, laying out an angle was offered as an alternative to a miter saw.

Fercrissakes, quit clouding the issue with facts!
Have you ever set your TS miter gauge to 70.6 degrees?
I'll ask this again,,, can yo actually set your miter gauge to 70.6 degrees?
When you set it at 19.4. It's all in how you look at it
Sure. You move it to the position and tigten the screw. Geez.
