Does anyone know of a good setup or device to check for squareness on a surface plate with an indicator?
I know that they make magnetic cylindrical squares that give you a reference perpendicular to the surface that you can indicate with a surface gage, but these don't work in every application. For example, in some cases the part is too narrow to stick the magnet to or you want to indicate a slot or keyway.
Has anyone had experience with a Squar OL made by the company that makes the Indi Cal? It looks like a transfer gage but I can't tell exactly how it keeps the part that slides up and down with the indicator from rotating on the post and becoming out of square with the part looking from above.
Here are some links to the Squar OL and some other versions:
