There are many ways of checking that blade is 90 degrees to table. Here is my favorite method. It requires no measuring tools, just a scrap of wood. Cut the piece of wood in half, then flip one half over and butt the cut ends together while pushing the two halves against a straight edge such as the fence. If the blade is not at 90 degrees to table, the cut ends will not butt together evenly. Demonstrated in video.

*snip: Video spam link*Did you know that you can square your boards by cutting each one into the same number of pieces as boards you have? So if you have 4 boards, cut into four pieces each you'll have 16 boards.

Well now that you shared what you have learned, that is how I do it also, you should set your equipment up to eliminate this error. Otherwise it’s is pointless to check for square.
