Wow.... 1/32" out is really bad! That's as bad as a regular (cheap) carpenters square.....
Are you sure there wasn't some crap in the slot ,or somewhere, that could be throwing things off?
If memory serves me, the bad ones I checked out back in the day were only out of square approximately .002" - .003" over 12", but that was unacceptable as far as I was concerned.
