My 4x6 may not cut stock too square but it cuts stock more square than I can.

A bandsaw blade which is perfectly adjusted to the table can still wander to one side if the set of the teeth is not exactly even on both sides of the blade due to a manufacturing inaccuracy, or uneven wear of the teeth. I adjust my bandsaws so that they cut square, not so that they are square to the table.

I use a small neodymium magnet to hold the 6 inch rule against the blade. However, this makes the rule magnetic, which causes it to attract to the square.
My solution was to make an aluminum square.
I used a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum, and "eye balled" it square on the mill table and clamped it tight. Without moving the blank, I squared up the two sides to the accuracy of the x & y axis of my mill.
