A pitch block is an old school method of getting the angles and has other important uses.... including getting newel post the correct height for any given location.

When my ex hired some guys she had worked with before to build us a nice deck years ago I had to calculate the baluster spacing for them and they still managed to forget to subtract for the top riser so that tread was 3/4 off. And I've never built a set of stairs in my life.
