I might add that a big carpenters square is good.... keeping
in mind that it probably isn't exactly square, but by flipping
the square over, and setting to the average of the two readings
will get you bang on square.

For example, if the square is not exactly square (say its acute
with less than 90 degrees, say 89.5 degrees), then by flipping it
over, you get 89.5 degrees the other way (ie now its at 90.5 degrees).

Now by setting to the average of the two, you'll be bang on 90
degrees.
