Default Rotating mat and squaring up of blocks ???

I have about 50 1.5 inch HST's to square up. So I thought I'd make the task easier and buy a rotating mat(good excuse, right?) 40 percent coupon at least.
I don't have many specialty rulers. So I bought a 2.5 and a 9.5 square.
But now I'm not sure that the rotating mat is of any use in this application.
If I use either of those size rulers I still have to reposition. I was thinking I could just spin the whole thing around.
Also the 2.5 ruler "rocks" on the HST.
I've always just used my 6x12 ruler and moved it ALOT.

So my ???'s are do you need a square up ruler the finished size of the block to make the rotating mat worthwhile? That would be a lot of rulers.

I'm questioning my rather expensive purchase of the mat.
