    24'' T-Square

    Anyone care to recommend a accurate 24'' T-Square ? Can't afford a Woodpecker's. Thanks

    I have a 4' drywall square that is pretty darn accurate. Another option if you have any larger squares would be making a 2' t square

    Cut down a drywall square to fit. A drywall square will be cheaper to buy and you get a extra hunk of two foot long ruler/ straight edge for use around the shop.

    You can buy an actual drafting T square for less than $25

    I have the Woodpeckers brand which I love, but before that I had a Johnson 5' drywall square which I cut down to around 3'. I don't remember what it cost but it was just as square as my Woodpeckers except the rule part wasn't as stiff. I gave it to a newbie woodworker so that he could pass it down someday too

    You could buy an inexpensive framing square and then check it. If it's not perfectly 90 degrees this short video explains how to check and correct it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKrrN-80OC0

    I bought a Chinesium knock-off for about ~$40. Was a bit off on arrival, but it had the screws in the cross piece to allow adjustment. No complaints since I dialed it in.

    I got this guy on Amazon and am happy with it. Accurate, reasonably priced, and made in the US!

    +1 Richard. I've found drafting tools to be very accurate.
