This is the 75 degree that you are talking about? If so then, when you invert (assuming the top and bottom faces are parallel) you still have a 75 degree angled cut don't you? Why not just cut for the look-down, offer it up and scribe then hand-plane?

It will yield the same results if you position your board properly in the saw. Since 15 degrees is the complementary angle, use that instead.

It's the same thing. Yes, just flip it over and do the 15 degree cut. It’s the same thing.
