I spent some time aligning the axis of rotation to my miter slots , table, cross-cut sled, miter gauge, etc...and now I'm ready to saw some wood

In previous lives using hand tools, I would make a line on the wood and would eyeball the blade to hit the line or just outside.
I'd imagine there is a better way to go about this on a tool equipped with its own table and I'd appreciate some hints about how others go about it.
Thank you !
