After I put a dial test indicator I obtained a difference on the vice of .00025" over the 5" jaw. I think that's pretty good, some of the more experienced please provide your thoughts.

Since general practice is to square your vise to 0.0005-0.001", I would say that is way beyond adequate. You will get more error than that from end mill flex and movement of the head while cutting. General guidance is that a Bridgeport style mill will only give you 0.001-0.002" accuracy (you can do better but it takes some care), and I am betting your "baby bridgeport" will not be as rigid.

Well my Glacern vice arrived last night and I had to work late but today when I got home I set the vice up and cut the 5/8" keys down to fit my 1/2" t-slot. I stepped the keys and mounted the vice. After I put a dial test indicator I obtained a difference on the vice of .00025" over the 5" jaw. I think that's pretty good, some of the more experienced please provide your thoughts.

Good enough. :)
 
How is that Grizzly 10 drawer toolbox in the picture working out for you? I have been eying that exact box in their catalog for some time, but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I want something good to replace what I'm currently using.

Also, is that their optional butcher block top, or did you make your own?

i like it a lot, wish I had ordered the bigger one, but didn't really have the room. For the money it is much better than the Snap-on and Matco chest I have had in the past. I have ordered so much tooling lately that I am filling the drawers quickly. I am considering ordering the top toolbox for it, but I like having the flat space. They do have a metal peg board that attaches to the back that I am also considering.

The butcher block top is from Grizzly, much cheaper than I could get the materials for locally.

What model "bigger one" are you referring to?
 
Nice! I like the costco catalog one best of the bunch
