Depending on how your block is chucked into the lathe, having the side of the blocks square with one another can be critical to having the draught hole hit dead center in the bottom of the tobacco chamber. If the block is square, it allows a self-centering chucks to have the block perfectly centered regardless of which side of the block is chucked. With a square, you can set the table by the sanding disc exactly 90° to the face of the sanding disc, and adjust the guide to also be exactly at the 0 point.
