A 0.2° error accumulated across 8 joints will leave you out by 1.6° on the final joint at assembly time. If you use your angle finder to set your chop saw angle instead of the wonky old gauge it came with, you might get a lot closer.
Yeah, I should have taken the time to fix it when I first noticed it, but at least now I know for next time! Also, it was a .2° error across 16 cuts, so I believe that would make it out by 3.2° altogether?

Yes, you're right. 3.2° accumulated error.
