If you go without one of the spacers in the vise 'ears', do you not then get a bit of slop for adjustment. Or you could just find square, read the scale, and always compensate +/- by that amount in the future. Or if it has an adjustable scale pointer, recalibrate it to actual square.

one thing I don't like about the design, is that the vise table seems very narrow overall. I don't know the scale but looking at the photos, the vise table is elevated and narrow. The HF saw I have (4x6) at least has a pretty wide flat surface to keep work from rocking radially. Looks like you could remove the repeat stop gizmo, and bolt down a piece of leveled stock to add some breadth to the vise using some existing holes I see, or drill and tap new holes to hold the added support.

I was surprised by the size of my HF saw too when I first got it, but after building a new stand and getting it up off the ground a bit more so I wasn't bending over all the time to work, it turned out to be just fine. Enjoy!
