I have a machinists 8" square and rely on it for all my tool setup.
I trust this more then the other squares I have.

A good 6" machinist combi square is my fave tool. Extremely accurate and
very handy.

A good place to look for machinist tools is ebay. Companies in the business
of selling these tools are hanging on at inflated prices or have already
gone under. Amazing deals can be found on ebay. I tried to sell one of my
extra micrometers (brand new) on ebay at 60% off. Didn't even get a nibble.
Since USA no longer makes anything, anymore, machinist tools are just rust
collectors. Can't give 'em away. So sad.
