Default Flat parts machined on all sides?

Iggy,

It really seems your zeal for CNC has surpassed your level of manual craftsmanship. Why not slow
down a bit and stop trying to digitize your entire life??

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?

Maybe have a look here http://www.miteebite.com/ at some of the T slot
products . Can't give a direct URL as the site doesn't do that
annoyingly. Maybe the Advant-edge clamp system.


Now that I thought some more about it, it is not as difficult. All I
need it to stop the program, and use a Vise-Grip to clamp the part
down to the backing, and then continue to cut it off.
