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 ?

I have both, and a couple of (square) corner cut-offs from Baltic birch
projects. Most frequently I use one of the plywood corners. Next most
frequently I use the framing square. The machinist's square usually
comes out when I need the centering head or the protractor.

I also have a set of those aluminum angle square corner brackets that I
like to use to clamp things square during glue-ups.

If budget is a major factor, and if your framing square really is
square, then I'd suggest saving your money for something you find you
can't do without.
