I want to mount this piece of plywood in such a way that it is reasonable removable.

I first need to true up the edges of the wood and that is difficult because of it's small size.

I have a table saw, circular saw, and reciprocating saw.

I would like to avoid the table saw because of its weight and bulk.

How can I true up the wood?

Small size???? Looks to be 12x24 or thereabouts...

Why would you not use the obvious tool for the job--the TS.
Clean up one long edge(*) then the other to get even width and then
crosscut to length.

(*) The near edge looks reasonably straight other than been butchered w/
some dull tool; the jigsaw perhaps? Start w/ it against the fence, then
reverse edges.

Wanted to avoid the TS because it is not mounted.

Dragging that 50+ pound anchor is not good on my back and neck.

I plan on putting castors on it as a future project.
