Here are some with an 0.001" accuracy, fine with me:

0.001 vs 0.006 (both per inch) and about the same price for a set of 3 -
take your pick. But the Lee Valley does sell a single square - I use my
6" square for almost everything - I've only used the 2" square on model
RR structures, and best I can remember I've never used the 4" square.

So the OP could get the single 6" square from Lee Valley for $17, which
he could save from buying a mid-priced combination square.


That's +-0.001" OAL, not per inch, BTW.


Look again: "less than 0.001" deviation per inch over the entire length of the blade".
