You could always square a piece of scrap, top & bottom square. Make a small cut, flip the piece top to bottom and match the cut to the blade. If they don't match, its not square. I'm thinking yours will be.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the resaw king blade and use the tr-master instead...

It's a 14" wheels so I think the trimaster won't work...

What I ended up doing was flipping the billet end for end with each cut today while doing the sides. That way, any slight variance from square was corrected in each successive pass. Seemed to work well. More or less, the easiest resaw session I've had.

I got 10 full sets of ovangkol and three walnut, I think the blade still has a bit of life left in it...

Just to correct the record, 1/2' tri-master works great on 14' saws. That's what I use for occasional resawing. (I don't get to do much.)
