i cut receivers for firearms (4sided milling) 3 flips. first i ensure that the piece is square , true and flat (both sides, i maching the Left side face up first, i have a set of soft jaws to aid in lining up with the assistance of thru holes, also using a runout guage in the spindle to ensure the piece is flat, on first side i 0 from the back right corner, when i flip i 0 from the forward right corner (same corner, and invert my Y) in your situation it would probably be a whole lot easier to dowel pin 2 of your scrap areas on your jig/table
