Default Precision Framing Square?

Doug White wrote:
I'm working on a project, and have determined that both of my framing
squares aren't square. I have a precison machinists square I checked them
against, and the 24" one is close, but the 12" one is way off. As a guess,
the 24" one is out of square by more than 1/32" of an inch, and the 12" is
off by half again or twice that much.

I need something bigger than the machinists square for woodworking, but I
certainly can't rely on the old fashion stamped steel ones from Home
Despot.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

L.S. Starrett is know for their precision and surprisingly there framing
squares don't seem to be expensive. "Toolfetch" show the L.S. Starrett
36129 Fs-24 24"X 16" Steel Framing Square to be about $13.00.
