okay spend majority of after work today surface grinding my new vise square, but i did manage to mount the base in the vmc and run a spot drill with a sharpy to check hole placement. Unfortunatly our vmc only has a working envolope of 23.62 on the x axis, the plate is 24.0" so i have to do it in to operations.
here is some photo's and a video of the spot sharpy!
