Thanks for the replies, guys. I just double-checked the fence, and it’s as good as gold.
I did make an interesting discovery while checking the square, though…it appears that my blade is positioned slightly out of bevel. (I didn’t mention above that this is a compound miter saw.) This in itself is a bit frustrating, as I spent some time yesterday trying to get the bevel right. I guess I didn’t do such a good job of it after all.

Part of the challenge in measuring the bevel is that my square is too big to fit under the guard when the blade is in the down position. I guess I need a couple of smaller squares. Any recommendations?
