Frame tolerance question

Hey all, hope this is the right place for this question.
I have just started my first build - LDO 300x300
I am also a woodworker so I am used to making sure everything is square from the start.
The corner to corner distance on the top is dead on equal as is the bottom.
The front/back and sides are in question. Every frame one corner is 1/16 inch off and its identical on every frame around the cube.

I have quality combo squares and tape measures (not homedepot )

any help would be much appreciated
thanks in advance

I have a very similar background. Just got my serial number on a 2.4 350. Don't sweat the 1/16th. As long as the joins are flush, you are good to go with that level of precision.
From the Voron Mechanical assembly web-site:

• Measure diagonals to check squareness - measurements should be < 2mm different.

Right on, thanks for the response.
I went back and tore it apart, took it to the wood shop and redid the build on a router table with a 4x8 sheet of MDF on top for flatness and busted out the Woodpecker squares and clamps.

Got it much closer, though there is still some variance but I cant image it getting much better.

Now I just get to continue to wait for the essential preprinted parts to be shipped

Ordered it all from West3d which has so far been a good experience.

anyway - thanks again!

It is square now, at room temperature. But when it heats up the aluminum that has steel guide rails attached will bow and pull the corners in. The other aluminum will get longer.

Not the outer frame. The carriage will bow some as it gets heat soaked. No worries OP you should be good to go. If you see a problem, you can add backer rails.
