If your mill is adjusted correctly the inch scale will be exact distance from a down turned tooth to the bed rail, when the blade had tension on it. The quarter scale on 4/4 lumber should be set at  1 1/8 to 1 3/16 inch on the inch scale. The scale should have several boards laid out on it. Just drop from one mark to the next.

My WM quarter scale is a magnetic tape that sets beside the inch scale.  So you just slide it up or down on the cant to start your first cut.  Works great that way.
