I'm working on a project, and have determined that both of my framing

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?

Adjust it...center punch at the angle. Where you punch on line between
inside and outside corners determines which way it bends.
Generally a simple ball pien hammer does the job and does not leave
the rough "divots" on the surface of the square.. Just pien it on an
anvil. Carefully - you don't want to go TOO far!!
