    Excellent tutorial! I’ve been using framing squares for 49 years and never considered they might be out of square. Time to go check them! Thanks for sharing this useful information!

    The first thing to do with painted squares is to file/scrape off the paint from the edges. Don't waste your time checking for square and adjusting until the edges are bare metal. The paint is usually not consistent thickness and has runs, drips, etc.

    Sorry for being offtopic but can you recommend parkside standing drill and bandsaw? I mean for a home user can the bandsaw cut well?

      Both are fine, but both are very basic. The main 'issue' with both is size. The depth you can drill with the standing drill is very shallow. The throat size on the band saw is very small.
      Having said that if set up correctly both work reasonably well.
      They are both useful tools to me.

    Can this method be used with a square you showed in the beginning?

    Ok info, but your pacing is very slow and it felt like you were not really prepared to make the video. BTW, the words for angles would be "acute and obtuse", not "concave and convex".

      Please try to be more grateful. No one is an expert at all things. I'm just thankful I can go fix my framing square now. The fact that we can literally look up ANYTHING on the web is truly quite amazing. Never in history until 30 years ago was this possible.

    Pythagorean Theorem is way more accurate. Measure 30 on lower leg, 40 on upper leg, should be 50 between the 2 measured points if square.
