This is where autocad is a great tool. Draw it and print full scale. check

laser printers have gotten a LOT better since the early ones, but they
are still very inaccurate. If you can get .050" accuracy over the whole
sheet of paper, I'd be amazed. I'd NEVER try to do precision work this
way. print a document twice, once with mirror printing on, and hold the
two up to a light to see how well they align.
