I'm going to go against the grain here and say DONT just cut 46 degree corners by default. It looks great when your corners are super right after install, but remember that wood will shrink ever so slightly over its life time! That will leave you with a small gap in your corner after years and years. If you want to do the best job possible, carry a Starett miter gauge and get that corner tight on the front and back of the joint! Some corners will be 47. Some will be 44. No reason to guess with this tool!

I'm the same way. I was installing baseboards and after 3 trips to Lowe's to get more baseboard I finally gave up. My buddy came over and made 4 cuts in about 10 mins that fit together perfectly using the above bevel. It has a built-in cheat sheet to help with the exact settings on a miter saw. He installed custom cabinets for a living and swore by it.
