I don't know where you've been shopping, but a machinist/engineer square
can
be had for under $20. Besides, you're paying for a level of accuracy far
outside what you'll ever be able to attain in wood. You'd be better off
with a good machinist combination square, which is still more accurate
than you need. More useful, too.

Agreed. I use the 10" stainless steel square from Lee Valley and it fills
most of my needs.

You can get small machinist squares for layout at many industrial and tool
stores. I bought mine at Enco. The small ones are perfect for checking the
accuracy of saw setups.
