I have an Excalibur saw so the table do not tilt, the head of the saw move.
For inlay I moved the head to the right 2 to 3 degrees depending on thickness of the wood and I cut clockwise.
To test just draw a circle on your piece of wood you plan on using and see the fit, the inlay piece should not go through but stay a little bit on top, you can sand it flush.
Hope this help.
