There's certainly nothing wrong with a good straightedge, but my framing square is good enough for me - maybe because it's made of steel, 35 years old and has never been abused.

I have a large piece of leftover polished black granite countertop that I use to check my straightedge and other things like intake and exhaust manifold flanges - but I wish I had room in the garage to make it into a table so I don't have to lift it onto the workbench for use..... the thing's sorta heavy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
