Yup, even if the blade is not square to the slots you will still get a square cut. People always ask what happens if the blade is not square? Well you get a wider kerf, that's all. Not exactly the same but sorta similar to making coves on a tablesaw - the greater the angle from the blade, the wider the cove.
