If your just trying to square the MFT then a try square will do the job just fine. We use one of these (12") stock against the fence blade against the rail:

We build using the 32mm system with "balanced" panels, which require consistent accuracy of .5mm or less. No problems.
With regards to squaring a cross cut over 48" we use one of these:

With one of these:

Cheap and as accurate as I can measure. Don't bother with the other carpenters squares that Stanley makes the black beauty is the one you want. Or if your inclined you can fork out for the Lee Valley unit...
Cheers,
