Reporting back from actually trying juggling my triangles around earlier-
Used an off cut of MDF, using the machined edge as my straight edge.
it just happened that the Starret combination square I bought online arrived this week so I was equally confident I had bought a good tool that should pass the test, and apprehensive that I would find I had bought a dud!
But, all good. photo (not great quality) attached of the result. I guess if I did zoom in 100x, having used a tiny tiny tiny pencil point, I would maybe find a slight divergence, but for me the result is more than accurate enough for woodworking needs.
