Hi Miles you would be better building a jig what you need is accurate repeatable results and it will become a chore keep tilting the bandsaw table then setting it up vertical. What you need is hardwood to fit in the mitre slot of your bandsaw I cut two from Oak as I want to make a circle cutting jig I went out and made my endstop today all the mitre cutting jig is a sheet of plywood glued and screwed to the runner that fits in the mitre slot and a fence fixed at 45 deg and a stop I would take a picture of mine but the shed is all locked up and its getting late here is my first effort from the Jig you will notice that the celtic cross is not right this is because the end of the blank was not properly squared I have learned to do it a bit better now.
