Having a perfectly square “root” is pointless if your fence is off by a bit. You need to set up your miter gauge as you plan to use it and make your adjustments from there.

If you’re under .007” at the “root”, take it and run. Put on your sacrificial fence and square up on it. Keep in mind that you’re working with wood. Just changing the way you grip your workpiece will change the perfection of your cuts.
