Guys,

does anyone own a cheap Machinist's Square set from Harbor Freight?
Price is great I just want to make sure it's not a piece of junk.

Thanks

If you do compare them to a known right angle and find them a little
off, a traditional "strongarm" method for improving them is to peen the
blade leg near where it joins the thick leg. Peen it at a spot off the
centerline of the blade on the side where "swelling" the metal makes the
blade warp in the correct direction.

You may have to check and take a little off the edge of the blade if the
peening makes it bulge out a little.

HTH,

Jeff
