Buy a bevel square, measure angle with bevel square than transfer angle to saw, perfect every time.
There is a too avalible from the DIY store. Its a plastic handle with a metal 'blade' type thingy that swiviles at the end. Go in and tell them what you want to do, they will understand. This product can cost as low as £1 ... but most likely £3.
all you have to do is get this thing that, it looks like a compass and messure it like that. Then use a table saw to cut the boards. it has angle measures on it, you can adjust the blade with it.
