I won't be able to clamp down all four sides since my table is only 3"
wide and the material I am cutting is just over 4". But I could use
some carpet tape to hold the peice down. I don't know if the foam
double sided tape would work since it has give to it. I could also
build a larger table to clamp to my existing table which would allow me
to clamp all four sides.

I think using the separate finish passes along with the tape should do
the trick. I'll experiment on the next one I make.

Thanks.

Another idea is to use super glue to mount the part to a plate. You can
later release the bond with a little heat and clean it with a little
acetone. Just dont use so much heat as to warp your part.
