I've been debating purchasing a 12" Machinist's Square. Would be awfully nice to be able to quickly verify some of my tool setups by checking, let's say for example, a 12" plus crosscut off my sled or sliding miter. Or verifying, with some exactness (is that a word ?) that a cabinet side is really square with the bottom. I'm trying to really focus on accuracy these days in my woodworking. I'm finding that it sure pays off in the long run over the course of a project, to spend the extra time making sure your setups are right on, and taking the extra time to verify at each operation.
Problem is, can I justify $60-100 for a precision square. Not a rich man here - that's not exactly rounding error money for me.
What do you guys do ? Should I just grab my framing square and forget spending the bucks ?
