You could remove the rubber pad. Or, you could add a small wooden extension to the top using a pocket rule to align both reference faces flush. Either case, thanks for the feedback and I will take another look at this on the next mfg. cycle. -John You can effectively thicken the squaring rail two ways. You could remove the rubber pad.

However, the little sliding gizmo to set the 90° angle needs to be thicker. It tends to ride under the edge of chisels that have beveled edges, thereby introducing substantial inaccuracy. As far as I can tell, just doubling the thickness would solve the problem and make the device more easily usable.
