You can square it in your vise Darren.
Machine one side flat (the ones with the angle cut). Clamp that side to the table and machine the opposite side parallel to it. Now you can clamp the plate in the vise on the two machined sides, indicate the top (one of the square sides) parallel to the table and machine it flat. Now just rotate it 90º, indicate the previously machined side so it's perpendicular to the table and machine it flat and square to the adjoining side. When you indicate it, don't use the quill, but crank the table up and down. That way if the quill is out of tram, your angle plate won't be. You'll be copying the squareness of the machine into your angle plate.
