Layout

Check a Corner With a Square

AskAlexK Editorial · November 7, 2026

Clean the mating edges and place the stock of the square flat against a straight reference edge.

Start with the practical details

Put it into practice

Use the same reference face for related marks so small differences do not accumulate across the layout.
