Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried the double-sided trick on an auxilliary spoilboard, but it doesn't seem to work brilliantly in that you've got to machine at much lower speeds, reduce the depth of cut per pass, and so on. In a WW environment it tends to be a one-shot solution, whereas I'm normally cutting small batches (I also do plastics, mainly HDPE and nylons).
Using pins to hold work marks the surface, and that isn't acceptable on either veneered panels or melamine coated MDF/chipboard used in kitchens.
This machine has a 120 cubic metre/hour vacuum pump capable of generating 60 to 65 cm of vacuum so ideally I'd like a solution which doesn't just throw that away.
