    How to make a tool to check squareness

    the video is a great watch but the downloads are even better this is the only squareness checking device that I know that you can make without having to do any machining keep in mind if you find a way of improving this design please comment and let me know
    If you know of another squareness checking device or other device that would be useful for students that are just starting out in machining or hobbyists please share the link with me
