    Thanks Clive, I didn't know about that way of setting the squaring.
    I have plans to make some new homing switches using latching Hall effect sensors and two magnets attached to the moving gantry. Using latching sensors will overcome the problems associated with the gantry overshooting the sensor while decelerating and might be more accurate/repeatable than conventional Hall sensors. That design may be less able to use the microadjustable switch actuator shown above so your method may well become necessary.
