Default Flat parts machined on all sides?

Magnetic chuck ?



Good quality double stick tape is often used for thin work.

Use a heat gun to get it to release.

This is actually a practical application, as someone said he may want
me to do a parts run for him.

Let's say that out of a flat stock, I want to cut out a part and it
needs to be beveled on all sides.

I obviously cannot do it in one "start and forget" application, as at
some point the part would need to be clamped from top or something, to
avoid burs or unmachined edges.

Someone must have already invented a good scheme for doing so, any
ideas?
