If the diagonals of the x (long axis ) are equal, then the axis is orthogonal,start from this !
Then bring the Y axis at a point and measure with a square, that you know it is at true angle.
How you know that you square is really a square?
Check this video:

If your square is not as it should ,do not through it away,check on YouTube how you can make it square again.
Good luck!
And remember any precision tool that is fall on the ground or it it is banged on something hard,stops to be a precise any more,it needs re calibration.Last edited by Nickhofen; 14-08-2019 at 09:29 PM.
