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?

With the table saw. No other tool you own will do as good a job,
as
easily , quickly, and safely, as the table saw with a good fence and
a
good miter slide. A sled would be even better, but not a
REQUIREMENT

I have no requirement for perfection.

I wonder how craftsman did it before they made table saws?

Some would have used a block plane

How does that make the sides perpendicular?


Thats where the skill comes in, holding it flat.


That is why old time carpenters had planes with really long runners.
The knife only hit the high spots.


Thats not making the sides perpendicular, thats making the side flat.
