Here are a few more pics of the new vice and 90 degree holding /backer board I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have. and yes, this is square to the top and will be square to the machine
(journeyman) when I install it. it is also dead level you can see in one of these pics the fence on the left-hand side to orient the boards for vertical holding
Oh and i put a little dust groove in that fence as well. it is in the last pic.
thanks for all the encouragement i have gotten here I am looking forward to bugging all of you as i screw up after i get my machine. LOL
